Sunday, a Day to Expense Church Donations
Post links to sleaze stories in the comments and Guido will summarise them. It is a dirty job, but someone has to do it…
Frank Cook claimed back a £5 donation made at a church service to commemorate the sacrifice of RAF pilots. The left wing MP for Stockton North signed the claim thus: “Battle of Britain church service, Sunday 17.09.06. £5 contribution to offertory on behalf of Frank Cook MP.” Where do you start?
Multi-millionaire Labour backbencher Mohammed Sarwar claimed £100,000 to cover mortgage interest that he paid from an account with a Swiss bank. Tax needn’t be taxing…
Lord Clarke of Hampstead, former chairman of the Labour Party, admits he fiddled expenses, but he is remorseful. “It looks like I’ve made a terrible error…. I’m responsible for my own actions . . . If I have to go to the wall and my life is finished in terms of political or public life . . . then so be it . . . I regret what I’ve done and shall be seeking to make amends by speaking to the accountants.” Wonder if that “remorseful” line will work for pickpockets?
Even though turned down, He maintains this was an error, how the hell can you make an error like that-TOSSER
That was no error that shows his core socialism and the contempt that his like have for our brave and heroic fighting men.
SCUM ALL OF THE LEFTIE BASTARDS
Cook should stand down now, It demonstrates that the fucking reds detest the forces and cannot comprehend the sacrafice that they have to make.
Infact no, he shouldn’t stand down, I’ll just run against him and use this fact over and over again, hustings, leaflets, radio, deadtree and all over order order too.
What a Hoon
I’m not surprised. I’m waiting for the story that an MP stole sweets off a kid in a pram. Bunch of thieving bastards.
http://rantinrab.blogspot.com/
think of his sacrafice having to part with a fiver of OUR ! money . scum
Gordon Brown is a c’unt.
This is bollocks. This fiver is a trivial distraction. So the bloke’s a miserable, tight, twat. Big deal.
I think The Telegraph needs to shut up now.
All this trivial crap is distracting from the real fraudsters and major troughers.
If caught out, all an MP has to do is sit tight and keep quiet for a couple days, and there’ll be a nice “duck house” story along, and we’ll all forget about them.
What happened to Baroness Uddin? To Jacqui Smith? To Hazel Blears? To Shahid Malik? Fuck all, that’s what. We’ve all moved on, distracted by much smaller stories.
Hoon, it’s not sacrafice, it’s SACRIFICE.
@ Constantly Furious
Don’t agree the fiver is a digression – even if it had been 50p or £5000, it would be equally contemptible. The point is that it is probably one of the most morally deficient claims we have seen alongside Jacqui Smith’s porn. It says a lot about the socialist mentality.
You are right that we need to keep Uddin, Blears, Malik, Darling, etc. front of mind too.
well done, you go for it. Independents are the only way to clear the scum out of our system.
I am the very model of a modern Parliamentarian,
I’ve nothing but contempt for the humble proletarian
I’m anti- drink, I’m anti-smoke, and I’m chastely ecological,
I quote from Hansard and I’m never logical
I’ve learned to speak at conferences, colloquia and seminars
I’ve even sent impassioned pleas to European commissars
I never miss a photo op because it’s free publicity
I smile, shake hands, kiss babies and praise everyone’s ethnicity.
[Chorus:]
He is the very model of the modern parliamentarian
He’s nothing but contempt for the humble proletarian
There is no universal law, that I must live a life of sleaze
Nor is there proof the world is fair, nor that I should do as you would please
I know the code of Green Book Law and which receipts are optional
I bolster up my claims with fabrications risible
Of moats, and porn, and mortgages invisible
Those claims are valid; the Green Book’s a revelation
It says we can, and there’s no taxation
[Chorus:]
The claims are valid, the Green Book a revelation
It says he can and there’s no taxation
You get nowt from Fees office if you can’t show your claim to it
But we never fear de-selection by our constituencies
We wrote the rules, that’s why they’re lax
And we rely on you to pay the tax
That’s why I think I am invincible
The laws of this great land of ours were written with a lot of thought
So when I violate them, it’s important that I not get caught.
[Chorus:]
The laws of this great land of ours were written with a lot of thought
So when he violate them, it’s important that he not get caught.
My financial pursuits have caused a few to say I’m cynical
I can say I’m not and not be one ounce hypocritical
When wreathes are laid, I cough and clear my phlegm
I’m confident that someone else will pay for them
I serve on 10 committees, none of which do anything
I formulate agendas and debate them with the rest of them
But don’t ask me to implement, I leave that to the rest of them
[Chorus:]
Yes, the Green Book will save this troughing riparian,
He is the very model of a modern parliamentarian
I’ll guard the health of my pension by self-interest most astute:
I realise that you voters find my avarice quite vital
I’ll give back your money if you can prove your title
And spin the tale with arguments convolute
Until my lofty rhetoric and arguments meticulous
Inspire shouts of laughter and the hearty cry, ‘Ridiculous!’
[Chorus:]
Until his lofty rhetoric and arguments meticulous
Inspire shouts of laughter and the hearty cry, ‘Ridiculous!’
I love to say at any chance that everything is relative
And prove it with statistics showing nothing is correlative
About this act I haven’t even moments of remorsefulness
I have the utmost confidence in the whips’ resourcefulness
So though we have run quite amok, we readily will go away
If for my worthless time, you were an extra £60,000 to pay.
In short, with economy shrunken and democracy gone,
For all my years of graft, my C.V. is just one line long
He was an MP and now he has gone
[Chorus:]
Oh yes, he has gone, but there’s more of the same on the way,
There’s more of the same on the way.
He was deselected last year according to the DT. Not sure how this despicable prat like him survived 20+ years in the same seat without being rumbled.
Thats Mr Ignorant Fuckwit if you please .
Ooh get her, going into a full mince hissy fit strop are Mr Slurper !
Thats what happens when you mix your ketamin and vaigra?
And its “complete” you mincing Mr fuckit
Here’s a couple of lefties who made todays’ headlines for their Piggy behaviour.
Though none of it comparable to the pathetic scumsucking slime that is Lefty James Gray. Sorry, I meant Frank Cook of course. Fuck it. They should both be dropkicked into the Thames with all the expenses they ever claimed converted to pound coins and put in sacks tied firmly round their necks
Eleanor Laing didn’t pay capital gains tax on second home
Frontbencher Eleanor Laing can however look forward to the same protection Dave has for all the girls like Julie Kirkbride. while poor Bill Cash looks on sadly as Eurosceptics are totally persona non grata what with UKIP getting all uppity.

And some obscure chap called David Cameron has made the front page of the Mail on Sunday. Though we all know what a lefty rag THAT is.
David Cameron took out maximum taxpayer-funded mortgage – then paid off own £75k loan four months later
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1189788/Cameron-took-maximum-taxpayer-funded-mortgage–paid-75k-loan-months-later.html
Moderate as always.
Gordon Brown has been talking about his “presbyterian conscience”.
The fact is, Brown is a sociopath with no conscience whatsoever, presbyterian or otherwise.
He looked deranged on Marr this morning.
He looks deranged every morning.
Darling is a thief and must go now says Vince Cable:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1189798/Fingers-till-Darling-says-Vince-Cable.html
I agree!
Ed Balls is a thief too. Why replace one crooked chancellor with another?
Notice to all temps: We have a vacancy for a “Chancellor of the Exchequer” (whatever that is!)
Will all of you who have Geography CSE and a criminal record please drop me your CV asap?
I personally can’t see the problem with a crook being in charge of a £1,7,000,000,000,000 economy. What could possibly go wrong?
Crooked MEPs, inc Irish MEP Kathy Sinnott, milk the Brussels gravy train………..
and just watch the crooked Green Party MEP from Germany;
gets out of the lift wheeling half her belongings and obviously ready (at 7am) to go off to the country to do nothing,sees the cameras and literally runs so fast back in to the lift that she hits the wall and then calls it an “impertinence”!!
Hilarious!
And this is the process that the criminal Brown wanted for the UK – SISO – Sign In Sod Off
He really is a piece of shit
Westminster is almost certainly a troughing kindergarten compared with the EU. Little wonder so many mainstream politicians are reluctant to publicly critisise such a wonderful troughing opportunity.
Didn’t Hoon serve an apprenticeship as an MEP?
AJC
The EU is a gravy train? What a fucking surprise.
Particularly when its a £1,7,000,000,000,000 DEBIT economy, thanks to B’stard Brown
When you see that figure written it is truly fucking frightening.
Front page of Monday’s Telegraph: Alistair Darling caught committing fraud by claiming for two properties simultaneously.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5418493/MPs-expenses-Alistair-Darling-billed-us-for-two-homes-at-the-same-time.html
A friend works for the BBC. She said the order from on high is to focus on those expense cases involving Tories and play down or ignore the Labour ones. Newsreaders and presenters are told to mention “duck-houses and moat cleaning” every time the expenses story comes up.
Apparently Micheal Dobbs was suddenly and deliberately cut off on Radio 5 Live this evening when trying to redress the balance by bringing up sleaze involving Labour politicians.
I heard Dobbs censored in mid-flow. The presenter the dismissed him saying he was “going on about old stories concerning Labour to try to answer all the Tory expense scandals about duck islands and moats”.
The BBC’s Labour bias is now just blatant and brazen.
Dobbs was treated with contempt by the BBC presenter.
you are a pathetic little shit, there is enough corruption about than you having to make it up.. wanker.
I don’t suppose the friend can provide some documentary evidence?
If I were the Tories I would butcher Al Beeb in the first year.
I was also wondering if you friend can shed any light on the constant references to Iran on Radio 4. Every second programme seems to have some Iranian content.
OK, if any BBC newsreaders or presenters are reading this: you will pay for your cowardice and lack of integrity and dereliction of duty to we who pay your salaries. Don’t think that tomorrow – the people’s day of reckoning – will never come: it will, and you guys will be history.
Darling out on Friday. Balls in as replacement even though he and his boy-wife are also crooks.
If you applied that logic then no-one in the Labour party could be chancellor…oh wait…
I want the job !!! PLEEEASSSE Gordon, PLEEEASE let me
Labour Lord admits stealing from the taxpayers but has still not been arrested:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6396064.ece
Micheal Dodds was just abruptly cut off on BBC Radio 5 when he tried to talk about Blair and Brown’s involvement in sleaze. He was switched off in mid-sentence by the male presenter who went on to make some snide comments about “Tories claiming for their duckponds”.
The claims that the BBC are trying to make this expenses scandal all about the Tories do seem to have some basis in fact.
I am telling you those guilty of flipping are more likely to have a fraud charge up their jacksy. Blears , Darling and such are on a very bad place at the moment.
Forget the moats and duck ponds , this is where the real action lies.
I’m not sure you can be accused of fraud if you don’t receive any money in respect of your claim.
attempted fraud is still a crime
How long is it going to take for Plod to get his arse in gear??
Funnily enough, though the MSM try to pin sleaze on the Tories, the polls show Labour hurting most from the expenses row.
Your name is going in my little book with all the others. After Friday — be afraid, very afraid….
It’ll be like mauling a dead sheep, but go for it Vinnie.
I’m more concerned as to whether he’s actually conscious.
The fact is, Brown is a sociopath with no conscience whatsoever, presbyterian or otherwise.
It may seem that you are correct, but you are not.
Brown is clearly going insane. Which tends to indicate that he does still have a conscience. After all if you had done what Gordon has clearly done, ( along with the many more very bad things we are less collectively aware of ) would not any half normal person go visibly crazy?
The problem for Brown is that his conscience has long since been losing the battle with his ego. This problem combined with certain ‘medication’ can be a lethal cocktail.
We are all born with varying degrees of common humanity, and natural empathy for our fellow man. Some have more them others, and some are more founded on a sound and loving up-bringing. However the vast majority of ordinary human life, given reasonably comfortable personal circumstances, has more then enough common humanity to live peacefully and productively along side any other human being.
Gordon Browns up-bringing was that of a future sociopath. Gordon’s basic character, as we were WARNED, is fundamentally flawed.
He them made himself un-elected dictator of The UK, in a manner that would have left Adolf himself green with envy.
What else did we seriously expect??????????
His dad probably buggered him senseless every day which would explain the nappies
I thought that was just because he liked playing the part of an Adult Baby? Thanks to CH4 I know what that is.
You mean he likes sucking on the state teat? Or a teat that’s a bit of a state?
OCH AYE THE ALTARS BOYS WEREN’T GOOD AT SWALLOWING U KNAE, ME OLD MAN SAID IT WAS A GOOD WAY TO BOND.

You’ll not find me but here’s a clue. Susan is in the room next door and they have taken away my shoelaces. Those dancers have a lot to answer for.

Ordinary people are sacked for mentioning the national official religion in the workplace. NHS.
Nice one Old Holborn…nearly wet myself!

Ignorant fuckwit.
And Ian Dale is a nice parody of a completet moron who thought Kirkbride had done nothing wrong and Madine Dorries was not a crazywoman.
It appears i am coming down with some fuckwittery and mincing myself
Ooh get her, going into a full mince hissy fit strop are YOU Mr Slurper !
Aint life a bitch .
(a) The disgusting rabble who form the Governement at the moment are not socialists by ANY meaningful definition.
(b) Those of of the ‘brave fighting men’ who returned from Europe in 1945 voted out the Tory Government the minute they got back, and voted IN a Labour Government.
(c) It doesn’t matter a flying F*CK how a party describes its politics, left, middle, or right: it’s what the bastards do when they get into Government that counts.
Claiming to be whiter than white, highly principled unlike the Tories, working for a fairer Britain, being the party of the honest working class, they have treacherously betrayed the honest working class taxpayer; if it were the Tories in Govt, the union barons would have called a general strike! It’s no good blaming Thatcher; how many of Thatcher’s legislation that these shower have rescinded? That’s why Labour are particularly despicable and reprehensible.
You would have to be blind in one eye and cant see fuck all out of the other, and have the IQ slightly lower than room temprature to realise that no matter who is in so called ” power ” they all sing from the same hymn sheet .
They will all do as they are told or Herr Führer Barrosso will give them a serious dose of tongue pie . Barrosso says , they just click there collective heels and whimper to the real master.
The guns might have been silenced in 1945 , but the Socialists were not?
God save the crystal book
abso – fucking – lutely!
Could not agree more . All socialists are traitors and should be put on trial and executed for treason and that includes Blue labour ( Cameron’s so called tories)
‘Blulabour’. I like that and shall use it frequently. Thanks
BluLabour – that really works!
Well done!

Telegraph
what a load of crap! I am a lefty and have served in the Royal Marines. So did my brother and my father. All active service. Fuck the Right-wings pricks. Cook should still resign though.
absolute fucking filth the lot of them cameron and clegg as well i see the’y'll burn in hell !
And what exactly did Cameron do wrong?
David Cameron uses second home allowance to pay for interest on mortgage on second home. That is what it is for.
No dispute exists that home is actually his second home, as his wife, and children are based in his first home, and his children go to school at his primary residence.
David Cameron paid off his much smaller mortgage on his first house from his own funds, shortly after taking out the mortgage for his second home.
David Cameron doesnt like to have two mortgages, even when the interest of one is being met by the taxpayer.
The fiend, string him up thats what I say, obviously he has masterminded a crooked scheme the likes we have never seen before. Never before have we seen such an outrageous abuse of the second home allowance, to actually pay for the interest on a second home, which is genuinely used as a second home, and is not situated around the corner.
I spent a half day last week disentangling my wisteria, when I could have been earning more to pay more tax so that mps could use the money to get theirs’ disentangled free. David Cameron, I think you could have afforded to
pay for yours yourself.
why should we pay mortgage interest for a millionaire, he doesn’t need to have a mortgage, he could buy his place outright
barefootcontessa, David Cameron thinks so too, so he is paying that money back.
@ Anonymous 11:22
Everyone in a given job should receive the same pay and expenses regardless of their personal assets. If a nurse was married to a surgeon, should she be paid less than an unmarried nurse? Where in the world does anyone have means-tested remuneration?
The more time Cameroon is spending untangling his wysteria, the less time he’s spending trying to kick old one eye in the bollox.
So that’s all right then.
“It was all within the rules” and Dave was so happy with his own conduct he paid it back because he knew the public thought it was acceptable and not greedy piggery at all.
Understand ?
Don’t believe you contessa, it’s totally the wrong time of year to deal with wisteria, you do it in July.
He tried to protech the reviled Julie Kirkbride thats what.
A matter of judgement. He took `valued` advice from that freak MacKay and then tried to cover up for his obnoxious fraudster wife Julie Kirkbride. What does this say about his judgement?
Call Me Dave should never forget Kirkbride or MacKay cos they will come back to haunt him. He says he is leaving the door open for them – he needs nto slam it firmly shuit and doublelock it. It still leaves the unanswered question ¬Why did Dave dither wwith this pair?`

Cameron maxed his take of the allowance by juggling his mortgages. Not illegal, but a clear indication of his mindset.
In the end, he choose a route that had taxpayers coughing up more for HIS BENEFIT.

Because the person is in our employ and if you earn 1p or 1 million the fact is there is a cost to a service.
No mention of Tony Blair.The difference between the Tories and Labour?The Toriies were millionaires BEFORE they became MPs.The thieving Labour scumbags became millionaires AFTER they became MPs. Simples……
#272. OK, do we all agree that we don’t pay a penny to anyone who becomes an MP ?
I for one am happy with that arrangement, that way you never have to pay a millionaire – or anyone else – out of the public purse.
That’ll mean only successful people become MPs.
All in agreement say “EYE”
Not in France Susie! If you stand still for long enough here you might get
strangled by it. Could I arrange for some mps to stand around near it perhaps?
Stick all 646 of the hoons in a big sack , hang it on a hook and jab the sack with a pointy stick no matter where you poke, you will hit the right one.
I do enjoy your listening to your ideas Harri.
More sophisiticated and creative than Freddie Flintoff’s simple “shoot ‘em up the arse” approach, but still all very doable.
You’ve got three yes’s. Well done.
yes yes yes – bring back the stocks! What better tonic for the angry disillusioned population? Public kickings for all of these tossers!!
Socialism does not equate to contempt for our armed forces.
New Labour is not a socialist government.
This government (and virtually all of the governments throughout the world’s history) treat their armed forces contemptuously. The only reason we go to war is to profit at the expense of another country’s natural resources.
‘Defense’.
pah!
i want to see camorons expences before he became leader i believe he was troughing to the max up untill that point . he also thinks he will walk the election with all this hollow talk WRONG ! if you look at the figures it’s more tories than anyone else troughing action is what we need, as for kirkbride maybe he was slipping her a length ?
So what?
Police to raid Parliament
Raid ? is a ” raid ” not something which plod carries out at 6 am in the morning without any warning !
So plod has given them the month of the ” raid ” no doubt they have also given those who are going to be raided the day and exact time also… how very polite of them.
Give me fucking strength, i can almost hear the whirr of the shredders from 1250 miles away.

I think you are confusing the word “raid” with “invitation to tea and cake”
531 Slight tautology, Harri, old Chum: 6 a.m. (ante= before; meridienem= mid-day) cannot be any other time of day than morning. My wife always speaks of someone ‘reversing back’: it’s much the same thing – rather like Richard Dimbleby’s ‘The Queen is wearing dark black…’
As to “fucking strength”: I hear Viagra is pretty good.
RAID’S BY APOINTMENT ONLY ! well thats great do they also warn drug dealers in advance ? : houses of parliament how can i help you? HI! scotland yard here would it be possable to make an apointment to raid your fee’s office on let’s say erm! thursday afternoon about say 3.00 3.30pm? yes that would be lovely look forward to seeing you , OH i’ll tell the others your coming see you thursday BYE ! you can hear the shredders going now hard drives ploping into the thames as we speak so now we know ! there will be NO prosecutions lack of evedence, fucking coverup by the met or what ?
“fucking strength”: I hear Viagra is pretty good.
Never again . the last one i took got stuck in my throat, i had a fucking stiff neck for days.
Sod off Balls.
Socialists insist on others peoples sacrifice but they won’t sacrifice anything themselves.
In this case they don’t mind members of our armed forces sacrificing their lives but won’t sacrifice just £5 to support them … utter scum … and to think people would actually vote for these vermin.
James Gray is a socialist ??? Someone must tell Cameron quickly.

Don’t think you’ll find many Conservatives have much time for him either.
Don’t think you’ll find many in the Labour Party will have much time for Cook now either. That would be the point you see.
Something about the laughable hypocrisy being spouted here by idiots about Cook’s behaviour being because he was a Commie Socialist Lefty.
It’s because he’s a c’unt.
And James Gray is a c’unt too.
Don’t forget Blinky.
What really sticks in my mind, from day one, is the 88p bath plug and the porno films! Not only does Jackie Smith have a face like a dropped pie, she also stinks like one – some bloody socialist she is – BRING BACK HANGING!!!
We’ve now stopped supply of these bathplus to Ms Jacquiboots, it was bad for trade.
Wasn’t Smith recently planning to introduce a law criminalizing punters using prostitutes in case the latter were trafficked (with the onus on the punters to prove their innocence)?
As trafficked women are also roped into starring in porn, shouldn’t Smith and her husband be arrested and held in custody until they can prove that none of the actresses in the porn they paid for had been trafficked?
As trafficked women are also roped into starring in porn, shouldn’t Smith and her husband be arrested and held in custody until they can prove that none of the actresses in the porn they paid for had been trafficked?
I do believe that Ms Smith might just get you there on a technocality, just in case you missed it , the two porn films that her husband watched and we paid for were… of the mincing persuasion, and too be perfectly honest , looking at her one can understand why.

Very very serious and if there is a doubt in normal life you are out on your arse but this is Nu Lbaour of course.
“Socialists insist on others peoples sacrifice but they won’t sacrifice anything themselves.”
Minor grammatrical errors aside, that is true, so damn true!
i wonder how many times mandelson went round for a movie and a curry ? YUK !
‘Socialists insist on others peoples sacrifice but they won’t sacrifice anything themselves.’
You sound intellectually challenged.
A Socialist society is characterized by equal opportunities/means for all individuals with an egalitarian method of compensation based on the full product of the laborer.
Blu Labour is not a Socialist Government.
Dickhead.
A socialist government is one characterized by arrogance and double standards. That’s what we got with B-Liar and McSnot-Gobbler
It’s called double standards.
The only naive, intellectually challenged people (i.e you) are ones who swallow the socialist clap trap.
In case you haven’t noticed Socialism ALWAYS ends the same way. Reason, cause its a shit fuckwitted idea which doesnt work, period, end off. Go figure !
I swallow nothing.
Just pointing out that to start bitching at ‘socialism’ or any other ‘ism’ for that matter is redundant. Socialism is not a concrete philosophy. I wouldn’t be defending it even if it was. All the ‘ism’s are excuses. Except Capitalism…which is causal. To wit:
“From the nineteenth century onwards, Capitalism has developed immense productive forces. It has done so at the cost of excluding the great majority of citizens from influence over production. It put the rights of ownership before the rights of Man. It created a new class of wage-earners without property or social rights. It sharpened the struggle between the classes.
Although the world contains resources, which could be made to provide a decent life for everyone, Capitalism has been incapable of satisfying the elementary needs of the world’s population. It proved unable to function without devastating crises and mass unemployment. It produced social insecurity and glaring contrasts between rich and poor. It resorted to imperialist expansion and colonial exploitation, thus making conflicts, between nations and races, more bitter. In some countries, powerful capitalist groups helped the barbarism of the past to raise its head again in the form of Fascism and Nazism.”
The Frankfurt Declaration 1951
Social Democracy held the view of having begun a serious assault against the five “Giant Evils” then afflicting the working classes, these evils were all symptomatic of our revered ‘Capitalism’.
Tossers.
Error , my arse! The hoon put it on a handwritten note. How could you plausibly call that an error?? Absolute traitorous insult to our fallen RAF heroes. More piano wire please.
Correct. The evidence is in his own hand as Watson so astutely spotted.
A sample of his childlike scribble obtained from another letter where he is requesting to be made a Lord ‘Before its all too late,” matches precisely.
both are even in the same crayon.
A Crayola burnt orange.
As Dr Watson reported above. It it would be a strange coincidence indeed if this where really an error, more like a deliberate act, with criminal intent.
“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
In this case the truth is that this upstart is a complete Hoon.
I have just completed a singularly interesting monograph on the use of Burnt Orange Crayola in begging letters.
Seven shillings the autographed copy (in Burnt Orange naturally).
Apply to Mrs Hudson, 110b Baker Street.
Sherlock might also want to consider the word ‘Offertory’ – which has nothing to do with how much it might cost to secure the vote or influence of a Conservative. The word ‘Offertory’ has a sacrificial connotation (‘that which is offered for Sacrifice’) and, in Roman Catholic and Anglo-Catholic circles would be used of the Matter (Bread and Wine) of The Sacrament, not of the money presented in the Collection (‘Almsdish’), although, sometimes, money collected from the faithful for the support of the Church’s work might be included in the term ‘Offertory’ (cf. Guido’s ‘Communion money’). If this was a C. of E. Service, money might be taken for a Charity by way of a ‘Retiring Collection’ or the Priest/Vicar/Chaplain might say something along the lines of, ‘Our Collection today is for The Society for the Support of Indigent Parliamentarians – I know you will all respond with characteristic generosity for this most worthy cause…’.
But ‘Offertory’? Was he actually in the Church or Chapel where this ‘Offertory’ was being requested?
I suggest that it is possible, likely, even, given our knowledge of the individual and of the Party which he represents, that he might have been seeking to cover up for being absent at a Service with which he could have been said to be departmentally involved, by introducing this hastily-scribbled note (have any of the rest of us ever had an Invoice, or a Receipt concerning churchgoing?), so that he could say, when challenged ‘ You weren’t at the Service to commemorate….!’ ‘Yes I was: a receipt for what I put in the Offertory can be found in The Fees Office!’
Offertory. Notice TORY. Of course it is their fault.
And didn’t the WWE have a TORY on their staff as well? I am sure she caused problems which affected professional wrestlings credibilty!

I’ve just watched Gordon on his mate Andrew Marr’s show promising to clean up politics and make things more transparent.
Why then did he avoid the question and not totally reject the idea of sending loads of Labour MP’s to the Lords just before the next election so they can keep their snouts in the trough.
He needs pressing on this.
Marxist Marr Mc Mentals puppet , FFS ! Marxist Marr might as well sit on Mc Mentals lap.
Gottle of geer anyone ?
No he need’s fucking shooting.
They both need shooting, put the corpulent b*stard and his state propaganda bitch-dog in the stocks!
But wait, isn’t it more fun to try and shoot at a moving target? Preferably while it’s running like f*ck and shitting itself.

Wouldn’t dare e-mail this man, who looks like he’s just been given his first grown up suit. If I e-mailed him with my thoughts, I’d probably be arrested under the prevention of terrorism act – how the Labour Party love to use that Act for anything from throwing old blokes out of their Conference for ‘heckling’ poor old Jack Straw to calling poor old Gordy rude names!
No that would be the Molesting of Children Act.

Yesterday I got a letter from Gordon Brown.
It says he’s sorry that ‘the political system has let you and the public down’.Yada Yada Yada, helping families (I don’t have one), helping people into jobs (I’m a pensioner), helping pensioners with an extra £60 (I don’t qualify) and ‘increasing pensions, savings and child tax credits all above inflation’.
My questions to Mr Brown are:
Are the government going to (a) put money in my savings account or (b) give me a better interest rate?
Who paid for this letter to be sent out?
What organisation occupies the return address at Unit 2, Arcot Court, Nelson Road, Cramlington, Northumberland?
Why have you written to me? And can I complain to the Mail Preference Service about unsolicited junk mail?
You’re just lucky you didn’t get him greetin’ & gurnin’ down your telephone line at 6:30 am – that used to be the preferred approach wasn’t it?
To answer your questions:
a) No
a) No
Probably you & I as taxpayers
Haven’t a clue – anything to do with Alasdair Fuckwit, TB’s Spinmeister?
Bcause I think you’re stupid enough to believe all the lies I’m telling you in this letter & I’m desperately hoping that I can persuade you to vote for ME & my Party on 4th June. Otherwise I might lose my job & I don’t want that to happen as I’m still building my property portfolio, thanks to the taxpayers.
Probably not.
Re: Unit 2, Arcot Court, Nelson Road, Cramlington, Northumberland.
It’s a print shop called Ravensworth Print. It specializes in Estate Agency brochures. Is the Broon claiming that these folk published the brochure?
That’s the address on the envelope after ‘if undelivered please return to’.
Do you think he stole the envelopes from this printer????
has his brother set up a printing busness with all the cash he made from his cleaning busness ?
Revolting
The stench from within Westminster is now becoming so unbearable it might be advisable for a bucket of shit to be strategically placed in Parliament.. it might distract the flies from hovering over the rest of the shit.
Well said. That’s probably why they have 1 mile security cordon around the Palace of Westminster! A Govt that doesn’t trust its own people.
I thought that was Baroness Udder’s job, along with Shahid Malik and the rest of the sweaty unwashed Islamic gits?
What’s the problem here. I have nothing but contempt for people in the armed services, and I would never donate any of my hard earned dough to them. If I was an MP where it was part of my job to be seen to make a gesture to people stupid enough to join the services and get killed, I would claim that money back, bloody right enough. Why should Cookie be forced to buy wreathes or whatever no matter how much out of his own pocket. Cookie is a decent representative of the people, not the militaristic elite, and we should salute him, for making this kind of stand.
I believe he has a son in the armed forces so it’s unlikely that he hates them en bloc
NO WONDER THE CHURCH IS HAPPY TO LET THINGS CONTINUE WHEN THE GOV IS GIVING THEM NO QUESTIONS ASKED CASH FROM THE TAXPAYERS WITHOUT THE TAXPAYERS EVEN KNOWING ABOUT IT TILL NOW.
399 What money would that be, then, angry Brickie?
Tithes (see the relevant Tithe ‘Redemption’ Acts)?
Church Rate? (Abolished in eighteen-hundred and frozen to death)?
English Heritage?
Charity Commission?
You have got to be joking ! The men of our armed forces have earned our respect. Without them we would be in an evev worse position that we are now!
BOLLOCKS YOU LEFT WING WANKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Itchy bollox – either a joke post or you are a twat of the lowest order. The donation was given as a token of respect for the brave servicemen who fought and lost their lives at the Battle of Britain to prevent nazi occupation and preserve freedoms for their future generations. Many of whom would be turning in their graves to see the present bunch of criminals giving it away cheaply to Brussels.
I was so f*cking angry when I heard about this it’s just as well that old bastard wasn’t within range or I”d have knocked every single one of his teeth out one-by-one, the petty, thieving C*NT.
Why so angry? You don’t give us a reason for the extreme nature of your reaction. Yes, the man is a greedy moron: but why should that induce paroxysms of rage?
I wonder what the fuckwit Socialist Archbishop of Cantabury makes of it all ?
Oh , the fucking shame of it all i should think ?
Of course, it is possible to overestimate, as it is to underestimate, the meaningfulness of all this, and it would be an unwise person who rushed to judgement over the ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’ of this. If only it were justifiable to entertain the, understandably, strongly-felt opinions of so many! Derrida, in his probing monograph, ‘Between Good and Evil’ puts it with great clarity, as does Monod in his piercingly sharp ‘Beyond Morality’. But, as much as from the Philosophers, DeRiguer and Pernod being just some, I draw inspiration – and understanding! – from works of Art: the writings of Blake William, the engravings of Palmer Samuel, the plays of Thomas Beckett, the novels of Iris Scrabble. As John Donne said, with great profundity, ‘No man is in Ireland’: who can deny the reverberance of that great statement?…
It’s the funny farm for you laddy, or the collective farm if you’re lucky. I’ll spare you the Tyburn Jig for now.

i see the beast of Bolsover needs help from an accountant to fill in his self assessment tax return………………..AND bills you and i for that FUCKING HELL!!!!
He’s that fucking thick that’s why, and so are the folk of Bolsover for voting for the twat
Just spotted and stole this immortal line from a comments section elsewhere.
“99% of the politicians are corrupt and give the rest a bad name.”
Brilliant.
I’m only surprise that he didn’t ask the church sidesman for change.
or a refund after the sermon disappointed
We have no evidence he put the fiver in.
Does anyone think NuLab is like the matrix?
We could have the Prime Mentalist as “Neo” – “The One”, prophesised saviour of the human race.
Jacqboot could be Trinity (I’m sure Richard would have some tight fitting PVC outfit somewhere)
Mandelson would be Morpheus – believer in the prophecy.
Prescott would be “Tank” for obvious reasons.
Harperson as “The Oracle” – The all knowing, all seeing being.
Can just see Neo and Trinity putting on some mean kung fu moves to save us all.
Errr…. am I losing the plot a bit?
Yes, I’ll unplug you now. Get to the nearest telephone.
And Ed Balls as Agent Smith ?
did I just witness the tight northern troughing fuckwit giving an interview in a leather fucking waistcoat?? Or was it all a dream? Is he a spanner man?
Oh , the fucking irony , not too mention the shame !
A leather waistcoat? are we talking Suzi Quattro stylee here!
Labour missed that one didnt they , where are the fashion police when you need them.
A leather waistcoat must carry a prison term of at least ten years.
And life without parole if you have matching trousers!
Was he doing peoples drives at the time ?

I hate to think that Mrs Dale might get a leg up from one David Cameron i can only assume that the sycophantic psychopathic nonsense re Ms Kilbride was written to ingratiate Mrs Dale with the CONservative party hierarchy.
As a start, surviving Battle Of Britain pilots should send the tosser a bill for services rendered, the socialist backs-of-others piece of filth.
BBC saying today that a plaque os to be unvieled at the former home of Douglas Bader.
The contrast between him and the two bastards above could not be more stark.
What a whole plaque ! Wow thats really decent of them.
What about the spare plinth in Traflager Square ? or is the Gorgon saving that one for himself.
Oh , well at least it will give the pigeons something worthwhile to shit on !
Just watch the sales of birdseed go through the fucking roof.
Seeing as Bader’s political views were of the right, I’m surprised the current regime haven’t accused him of buggering bunny rabbits.
The Tuscan is prepared to bet he only put a quid in the offertory box in the first place, too.
Actually it was an old German Mark, I like to keep real money to myself.
and fished out 50p change
Dogshit on the shoes of Society
I think ‘Dog shit on the soles of our society’ is very apt. They are beneath contempt.

They are the lowest worms in the dog shit on the soles of our society.
Hear hear. I have emailed him asking if it is true, and if so, will he resign from Parliament.
No doubt he may – at the next election (given the golden handshake)
He was deselected by his constituents last year so will definitely be out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Cook
However, he’s not all bad as he’s strongly against ID Cards.
That’s an insult to dogs & dogshit.
The problem is if he tries to crawl back under the rock he came from – it’s already overpopulated with the Labour Front bench – and the backbenchers like Moron!
What a complete and utter waste of DNA this slime really is. He should be tarred and feathered.
I fear piano wire and lamp posts are just too quick for some MPs.
Fucking hoon, i would not be suprised if he pilfered the honesty box on the way out.
Once a socialist , always a Huhne !
“Battle of Britain church service, Sunday 17.09.06. £5 contribution to offertory on behalf of Frank Cook MP.” OOOOPS SORRY DIDNT MEAN TO WRITE THAT OUT !
So what do we learn from the words
£5 = Cheap skate
on behalf of = He didn’t attend himself
= the £5 was not his in the first place ie claiming for someone’s else’s contribution
so he thinks that it is acceptable for him to claim expenses when people use his name ……. great I am off to Harrods to get that £8000 Plasma TV
Is it true that in the forthcoming reform promised by GB. John Lewis list will have been replaced by Harods list?
I am assured by Mr Alfie Dead that is not the case. He doesn’t have 645 manila envelopes in stock right now.
No receipt I’ll bet.
It’s even worse than at first glance…….. he claimed the FULL £5 INCLUSIVE of Gift Aid !!!!!!!! Double Dipping into the tax purse
Many WWII serviceman voted Labour in 1945 as they believed that party would help build the fair and open society they had been fighting for.
The behaviour of the contemporary Labour party and this little crook is an utterly despicable betrayal.
Is it true that Geoff BuffHOON really tried to claim back on his expenses the poppy wreath he bought? IS IT REALLY SHITTING TRUE??????????
with G hoon everything is possible and true , the utter hoon
Surely they should have known better. They only had to look at the USSR to see what a socialist paradise is like!
Beggars belief. Shame does not seem to figure in their genetic make up. Wants to make you go postal.
Yes it does make me want to go postal.
It makes me want to post this Australian emigration forms I have here – I’ve got enough points, I’m going.
This county’s dead. Killed by its shite politicians, sacrificed to the false gods of political correctness, city trader greed and the franco-german alliance.
That’s what I did, I think Britain is done & dusted.
Anyone know how easy it is to emigrate into Canada??? if worse comes to the worse i’ll buy a ticket and just stay there illegally. Especially if the Lib Dems win the GE.
Funny you should say that. I got my new Aussie passport a couple of months ago. (Its a long story, involving an Australian father who fought for the Royal Navy in WW2, flying off aircraft carriers).
Albania welcomes careful drivers and waiters
To be honest I would be ashamed to be buried in the United Condom!
Would we be able to claim political assylum anywhere, do you think?
We can all become EU workers and invade the old Eastern Bloc.
I couldn’t take any more shit from these c*nts who’ve wrecked the country and fucked off 3 years ago. Do I miss Britain? Nope. It’s only got even worse since I left and how there hasn’t been a bloody and violent revolution yet is a complete mystery to me. I can see it coming, though. Probably not this year, but maybe next….
Frank Cock beggars belief!
Over here in Belgium somebodies are sticking piggy snout stickers over the noses of the photos of the Euro candidates. This I have seen.
Other photos are being covered by pics of Paris Hilton. Reported on radio.
OH YES PLEASE where to we get them????

Make Socialism History would be a good start

You should visit Britain then.

I love the bit where he says:
“It is crazy in the 21st Century that we still have an unelected House of Lords”
Hold on sunshine………. haven’t Labour foisted an Un-elected Prime Minister with an Un-elected Peter Mandelson as his sidekick???? Time for an election maybe.
Can someone tell me what’s NOBLE about Noble Lord Mandelson, the Lord of Sleaze?
They can fuck right off with voting reform – they had their chance and fucked it. Foreign secretary!! FFS a turd would do a better job. I wish they all just died.
NoBellend – more apt
Mandelson ? .. more like “Lord of the ring-piece” ….
Or Gaylord.
The house of Lords is about the only check and balance we have on the house of commons. If, even in some limited capacity, they can stop stupid laws being passed, then it ought to be preserved. An upper chamber elected in the same fashion as the lower chamber is of little purspose since it will simply enhance government power, not reduce it.
if you believe THAT, you will believe ANYTHING!!
WTF!
Well it’s true. Our unelected House Of Lords has done its level best to act as a counterweight to the House’s excesses. There may be some men and women of honour there, you know.
Anonymous do I need to remind you of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill, which in its first draft, past by the Commons would have allowed Ministers to repeal or introduce any legislation without reference to Parliament? This was blocked by the Lords.
Had Labour have managed to have got an elected second chamber – that legislation would not have been blocked. Labour are only talking of Lords Reform and Electoral Reform because they fear defeat. The BBC is busy setting up its own Party of “independents” and all of this is being done without question. Aunty is becoming complicit in election fraud.
That’s the LAST thing we need, having one greedy incompetant house is bad enough, to have to vote for another is beyond it. And when would we vote? at the same time? that is how to destroy the last vestige of scrutiny. If not at the same time, that means fixed term parliamentsm and the can of worms that would be.
Bring back the hereditaries, men (and the occasional women) of honour and above petty party politics.
And usually well educated, with enough dosh not to be bribed.
Yes, and only from the bloodlines of peerages created between 1300 and 1600; none of yer Micky Mouse NuLabour ‘cronieages.’
If I could claim my church donations back, made out of my raped pension, I would be nearly as well off as the poorest MP. Labour losers, socialist shit. Swiss bank accounts, for God’s sake?
Yes, nobody on the right has a Swiss bank account.
But why be a socialist if you want to be rich?
Socialists only share other people’s money
Simple! He wouldn’t have had a chance in hell of winning if he had joined the Tory party! Also matters is the level of contribution to party funds.
Socialists only share other people’s money
Yeah, and usualy amongst themsevles.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:
“What is a Socialist?
One who has yearnings
For equal division
Of unequal earnings;
This is the man
Who is perfectly willing
To fork out his Penny
And pocket your Shilling.”
(Like Johnny Walker ‘Still Going Strong!’)
Jeeze man your only talking about as fiver:
Last Sunday I put £10 in the collection plate, took £20 out and asked the Altar Boy for a £50 receipt.
The collection plate had an “AMEX Welcome Here” sign on it.
Ah!!! Now That’s called REFORM, as promised by Gordon.
And what did you pay the Altar Boy £50 for?
Do we want to know?
It will be outed in the 22nd century! There’s usually a slight lag before the regulator quangoes begin to notice.
Little boys are cheap today
Cheaper than yesterday

Mandelson goes to the waxing parlour.
“Full Brazilian, Sir?” asks the beautician.
“No thanks, I had one for breakfast” replies Mandelbum.
It does raise in the mind the question – did he pay the £5 in the first place? Or was it just an excuse to get another pint?
This claim typifies the disdain, contempt and arrogance for the electorate that M.P’s have exhibited over the past 10 years ( and perhaps longer). The amount involved is irrelevant. This expense claim, which would have had to have been signed by Cook, is an appalling example of the mindset of the Troughers of Westminster.
They are truly dogshit on the shoes of our society (with apologies to dogshit)
I see that un elected opinion former Helena Kennedy is on Marrs show. She is one of those puffed up lawyers who think her opinon is better than ours and that we hang on every word she utters.
As Mr Flintoff would say ‘should be shot up the arse’
Hmm, so who gets to bend her over, take her panties down and have playtime?
I’d consider it’s a noble thing done for wider society – or at least something wider!
Helena Kennedy is one of a host of New Labour Luvvies and soft lefties desperately trying to avoid being contaminated by the stench coming from the Government they helped elect.
Quote:
The expense crisis reveals a nation governed by a political elite that has stopped listening and who are accountable to no one but their party machines. Too many MPs seem more interested in changing their homes than changing the world. Our society faces real problems – mass unemployment and growing poverty, the threat of climate chaos and an erosion of our civil liberties to name but three. These all require effective government working on behalf of the popular will. Yet our whole political system is close to collapse. We demand a new electoral system that makes everyone’s vote count.
On the day of the next general election, there should be a binding referendum on whether to change to a more proportional electoral system. This should be drawn up by a large jury of randomly selected citizens, given the time and information to deliberate on what voting system and other changes would make Parliament more accountable to citizens.

Sad to see Tony Robinson in that list.
I do love a party member in my trench though!
He can clear my moat anyday!
I bet he knows where the bodies are buried!
Is that a Bronze Age hoard he’s found or just another pot of our cash?
The man spends half his week rummaging in shit. Should’ve been a politician!
Ghastly little man. He’s the only fly in the ointment on the otherwise excellent Time Team. Used to be Shop Steward of Equity the luvvies’ union.
He has a cunning plan.
That’s a handy list of who to bite first
Useful as a list ‘usual suspects’
Ceaucescuing the people signing that letter would make the UK a far better place.
Aaronovitch, the odious New Labour supporting creep, who as recently as March wrote in The Times :-
“Publishing the Home Secretaries personal bills for millions to read is as big a breach of privacy as one can imagine “. To follow this theme he obviously thought that to release details of MP’s troughing is also a breach of privacy.
It’s so typical of these looney left wing journalists (Maguire, Richards, Aaronovich and Toynbee) who have aided, abetted, and counselled the worst government this country has ever seen in its history.
What rank hypocrisy that they now (knowing that Labour are going to get a stuffing) want to move the goalposts.
Yes Aaronovich and Toynbee and Maguire (yes Maguire who has been covering up for YEARS for all of this criminal behaviour in the Mirror) and all these other “journalists” who were taking favours from Criminal New Labour were
1) either blissfully unaware of what was going on under their noses, when they are paid to tell the People the truth,
or
2) were accomplices to this pillaging of Britain
Either way they should be FIRED AS JOURNALISTS
But that they write a letter calling for “reform” after the horse has bolted (Caligula’s of course) if just astounding hypocricy and an obvious admission that they completely failed to do their basic job as journalists while attacking Guido and others for doing it for me !!
THEIR CREDIBIILTY IS ZERO AND THEY NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO CALL THEMSELVES JOURNALISTS……..HACKS MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE AT THE BEST !!
If the bills had not been published we would not have known that Spliff thought it was ok to claim 2 pornos od that she could not be bothered to check the details of the bill. What is he hiding?
Shame to see people as clever as Eno and Grayling contaminated by stooges like Aaronovitch and Toynbee. You would think they could work out that PR is the only way Brown and co could dodge their richly deserved bullet, although it seems they are happy to have one more “first past the post” election, which should be enough to consign Nulab to oblivion.
It’s hard to know where to start, but lets start with the 3 main parties, they are ALL one and the same, we are now run by the EU. All three party leaders know and have know’n for years about the expenses scandal. What is more alarming is that the media have know’n for a very long time.the Bbc and Sky news are controled by the State. We are fed ONLY positive EU propaganda. The Police are just another arm of Parliament along with the clergy, the Unions and fascist UAF and Searchlight. On Question Time last Thursday, Nigel Farage, The leader of Ukip was given an easy ride. His expenses as a MEP have totaled over £2 million, add the rest of Ukip MEP expenses and we are at £10 million, more than the Commons and the Lords expenses Put together. The Bbc knew of this but failed to nail Farage because the media have to hype up Ukip in the hope of deflecting votes away from the B&P. Ukip have rarely achieved a vote percentage of more than 6% over the last 5 years in any election. The latest LIE Poll puts Ukip on 20% The B&P have the establishment running scared, they know the B&P are not troughers, they are whistleblowers and if they get just 1 seat they can still blow the lid on the Brusseles troughers.
There’s a stench coming from parliament. People like Frank Cook are the source of it.
Darling ‘has fingers in the till’ whilst Brown dithers. Things look bleak for Labour
Guido, this revelation, to me, is the worst of all of the sleaze so far unearthed.
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23701307-details/London+MP+claims+public+money+for+Labour+party+HQ/article.do
It may have missed the public because it is not from the DT but from the Evening Standard which few people apart from me continue to read. This is systemic institutional theft. This one is not merely disgusting, it is terrifying.
How unfortunate the target of the Islamic Ativistics was the Twin Towers and not the Palace of Westminster
Enver Hodge is on of the worst
Gilligan hits the mark again…
fuck off, she’s special
You’re not alone Grandad, I read this too, but with Margaret Hodge you’re looking at a lifetime career of promoting and protecting Labour on the public purse. Also in the Standard is the story about How baby P’s mother was the product of one of Islingston’s Childrens homes at the time of the abuse scandal when Hodge was the leader of the council. Her reward for that failure was to be made Children’s Mininster FFS!
Hodge being made Children’s Minister after all the abuse that was found in Islington’s Children’s Homes shows the kind of scum we are dealing with in Nu Labour.
As you say.
Margaret Hodge? Surely you don’t mean Lady Hodge MBE, the daughter of the multi-millionaire Oppenheimer family? The Margaret Hodge that was born in Cairo all those years ago? Really? That Margaret Hodge, who with all the family money and years of claiming as a councillor and MP in deprived London boroughs, takes tax money from “hard working families”? You know, the sort of “hard working families” that are struggling to make ends meet now that the 10p tax rate has been abolished.
The one & very same.
Well, fuck a duck!
As you say Great Grandad.
This is the ugliest thing so far!
John Bull sums it up perfectly!
What is Sarwar doing with a Swiss Bank Account?. No doubt his accountant will have declared all interest paid to HMRC.
Check out this troughing bastard’s travel expenses. They do not come much higher.
Obviously we paid for his trips to Switzerland to bank his spoils.
Parliament needs to be renamed the House of Conmen
Sarwar has a history
Sarwar has a lot of history…..
Does he consort with the Batty Baroness Udder of Bangla Marble Palace Land?
OUT OUT OUT Leaching trougher
Frank Cook was on R5 last night and he came across quite well I amaze myself saying.He has been deselected and will not be standing at a GE because he is seen as “old Labour”. His critique of the NuLabour high command really rubbed salt into the seaping mortal wound created by the Gorgon.[who is about to appear on Andrew Marr.The Gorgon looks very very ill.
And we’re supposed to feel sorry for him?
Don’t.
If I’d behaved as badly as he’s behaved, cheating, lying & thieving – while all the time whinging on about my ‘Moral Compass’ I imagine the guilt would show through. No doubt he’ll be both looking & feeling a lot worse before this is all over. And I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more.
No – let’s make these bastard hoons history.
Come the revolution we will run out of ammo.
Natascha Engel claiming the cost of a DVD of her own maiden speech has to be one of the more egotistical expense claims I think:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5412645/MPs-expenses-Natascha-Engel-claimed-for-DVDs-of-own-speech-in-Parliament.html
fuck off, she’s special
Well, I think there’s a first with her – an attractive Nu Labour woman!
Hmm, so she’s high maintainence – who in Nu Labour isn’t – even the boys are buying girls goodies to prove they’re just as bent as Lord Fondlebum and need to be treated properly – high maintenance or tax-troughing.
Did anyone vote for Political Correctness?
No she’s not, she’s a fucking thieving Hoon. Now fuck off and make excuses for someone else.
Not special in any way.
But I’d like to see a DVD of her and her Labour cabal comrades getting destroyed in constituency after constituency come election day.
‘Destruction of the UK Labour Party’ boxset. Television delight for the whole family.
Hopefully when Frank Cook gets to the pearly gates St Peter will tell him “here’s your fiver back, now fuck off down to the hot place”
Hell. Yes.
One of the worst excuses I have seen…..
WEST HAM MP Lyn Brown today reveals why she claimed a second home allowance – and discloses a private matter she kept secret for many years.
She told me that in her youth she was subjected “to a vicious attack” which not only left her scarred physically but “feeling vulnerable.”
She said: “I have to organise my life around this in order to function properly.

Worst ? Sorry I meant despicable!
wut a scumbag, I grew up in poverty in a shithole getting beat up every weekend for having crap clothes thanks to Labour facking up the country once before but it didn’t drive me to become a scumbag MP set out to milk as much as i could from hardworking people.
You can’t cure these people they need to be put down or locked away. It’s like aids or cancer these people are a disease that ruin countries and lives and we need to prevent these people getting power ever again.
Playing tired old the “gender” card.
Please help me I’m a poor innocent women.
Yawn and reach for the sick bucket.
You aint wrong there
These FemNazi MP’s are all keen for equality, they want equal or more praise and rewards as the men MP’s but when it comes to equal condemnation and punishments that the men get they start singing a different tune and hiding behind the i’m a poor defencless woman woe is me card.
That should of read;
These FemNazi MP’s are all keen for equality as long as it’s on their terms.
Not all female mp’s are bad or femnazis but a growing portion of them are turning out be more trouble than they are worth.
Those wimmin hate girls like me though…no sisterhood when its someone they disagree with
Oh Angry Brickie, the nail on the head there old son. I have a theory that if you scratch a feminist, you find a leftie underneath. I have proved the theory in discussions with certain “ladies” of my acquaintance. It goes like this:
Feisty Bint: “You men are all the same, you will never let women near the top jobs and you conspire in the glass ceiling on promotion.”
Me: “Err.. at one time we had a head of state and head of government who were both women, didn’t we?”
Feisty Bint: (Arrrgh!… Elizabeth Grrr.. gulp, gasp Maggie Thatcher Errrgg… circuit overload…. errrgggh.. cannot admit to admiration for anything vaguely right wing….. Circuit bypass…..switching to rebuttal program….click click) “Now that was different, they never got there on merit, they……blah, blah, blah……….”
the problem with women, when they get into positions of power is that they
are generally grotesquely influenced by men. Behind most bad women there’s
usually a worse man.
Spot on Angry Brickie!!! Feminazis should be put on trial for witchcraft and we should start with harriet Bloody harman !!! I ‘ll bring the petrol !!!!
Thank christ dependable Tories like Julie Krookbride would never stoop so low.
Oh wait…
She brings it up to save herself.
Imagine how she could of helped other women in the same situation. But no. This sort of excuse really sickens me.
Who is the woman who was shown canvassing in her own constituency in a stab vest?
Harriet Harman deputy leader of Labour. Says it all init.
Harman was wearing an item of police uniform which identified the wearer as being a police office, ergo she was guilty of impersonation according to the Police act.
I’m surprised they were allowed to take a picture of her, if she was impersonating a police officer. I thought it was forbidden? Along with everything else…
Unbe-fucking–lievable.
So we can establish, without doubt, that is is alright for British people to hard some of their money in an offshore bank account. We can quote Labour backbencher Mohammed Sarwar as a precedent then?

What’s a muslim doing with an interest giving Swiss bank account anyway, It’s against Shariah Law.
Swiss bankers aren’t generally muslims.
The Mm. Religious Law consists of “Do as I say” not “Do as I do”.
If all suicide bombers go to heaven and get the eternal services of countless virgins, why aren’t all the Mullahs strapping Semtex to themselves and joining the ranks of the martyrs?
Do they know something that they are not telling their students?
err perhaps the mullahs are otherwise inclined – sexually that is?
” Do they know something that they are not telling their students? ”
Yeah, it has been said that, something was lost in translation, it’s not virgins they get but grapes, bit of a difference, if true.
being a sleazy troughing hypocrite I imagine
Muslims have a special “hell” reserved for hypocrites
so do I – bring out the gimp
I’m gonna get medievil on your ass.
Muslims have a special hell reserved for anyone who doesn’t think that it’s ok to live in the Stone Age. Tell us something new.
Marr is doing a fair job so far
Doesn’t Winky look like the slimy worm on a hook – especially the threat of sorting out the BBC’s expenses. Go on Andy – nail him!
No blow job for Andy afterwards
It wasn’t exactly subtle was it – I wonder how many Beeboids flinched at that point?!
BBC expenses and salaries probably do need a looking at but that was not the time to mention it.
That was the time to annouce the sacking of the tax dodging bastards that sit in the cabinet.
I thought he was shit – could have pinned him down instead of listening respectfully to his tripe
No – he should have nailed him down. You can’t use inferior fixings for these tough jobs.
The Battle of Britain and D-Day were fought so me and my comrades could impose Bolshevism on you thick British and have you pay for doing so. Never forget – see Channel 4′s current propaganda, sorry, historical series on Hitler, “The most evil and criminal man that ever lived” – that your blood was spilt to stop the tyranny of Fascism and we must always salute our brave hero Stalin, without whom we would all be talking German, eating cabbage and goosestepping, totally unlike the Land Fit For Heroes etnically-diverse Britain has become under the egaliarian benign regime of International Socialism – at peace with Mankind and the World. Now where’s my fucking expenses you taxpaying Huhne?
International Socialism, like its pygmy brother National Socialism, are both poisonous fruits from the collectivist tree.
All forms of socialism are doomed to fail, eventually.
Whereas capitalism is working so very well at the moment…
I doubt you’re starving.
Socialists are hypocrites they talk about giving to everyone and how mine is theirs and theirs is mine but i’ve never met a socialist who would let me live in their house or eat at their dinner table or more importantly drink their wine.
Regulators who run the currency monopolis in each country decide on the volume of credit/debt in the economies.
Read BASEL2. See the credit bubble regulated into existence.
Capitalism has ups and downs, a natural cycle. There are bubbles, and they burst; shit happens, deal with it.
Socialism can be likened to a fart-bubble. Not pleasant when expanding, and leaves a stench of sh*t when it inevitably bursts.
I am Sick is right, all socialism is doomed to fail. Name one socialist state that worked. China has only emerged from the depths of f*ckery since it embraced free-market economics.
Capitalism isn’t perfect, but ups and downs is better than downs and super-downs.
I had nothing to do with deregulation!!!
Why won’t you oiks believe us when we tell you that.
So the Banks made Billions in bonuses from CDS and CDO’s before the whole pyramid scheme toppled. And we then had to be rescued and bailed out with HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of TAXPAYERS money by spineless cowardly politicians. It’s all just a cycle you see. a bit of a down.
Still I’ve made a fortune so you can all go Fuuck yourselves.
That’s how this failed brand of Capitalism works see ?
And everyone is happy.
McDoom is on Marr’s show displaying a level of deceit and stupidity that is mind boggling.
He seemed to suggest that only Labour was sorting out sleeze!!!
When will someone really get to the heart of it that it’s about MP/PM’s judgement with public money, not just for their own expenses but for the big things (like selling off the gold at the lowest ebb).
Just been watching it myself but had to switch it off – TVs are expensive and I can’t afford a new one (I’m not an MP).
He’s just said he wants to strengthen FoI as its “what brought this about”.
Fuck me – you couldn’t make it up.
You can bet your last quid then that the FOI is going to get a hatchet job taken to it so something like this never happens again and upsets the little piggies.
We all know Gordons orwellian double speak translates into
strengthen = weaken
Presactly.
Gb has dreamt all his life about getting in to power, and he’s not
going to give it up lightly. He will need to be dragged out of Downing Street kicking and screaming. It’s about time he went back to bonnie Scotland; but I
believe they’re not so keen on him there either. Who will replace him (in newlabour)? The mind boggles!
@76 – “He’s just said he wants to strengthen FoI as its “what brought this about”.”
Err, no it isn’t. It was somebody flogging a CD(s) to the DT. The FoI version would (will) have black marker pen all over it.
We shouldn’t forget Gordon Brown was clearly the “very senior political source” that leaned on Michael Martin to go to the High Court to prevent publication of MPs’ expenses under FoI.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8071731.stm
A fish rots from the head downwards!
Not if you shoot it up the arse it don’t.
Why when I listen to Gordon Brown do I tend hear:
“Blah Blah Blah”?
Andrew Marr is challenging him a lot today. It’s a bit late but good.
yes – he’s like the teacher off Charlie Brown.
There is no point in any of this. Brown’s a deluded moron and has said he’ll not stand aside as he’s ‘dealing with the country’s issues’. Brown even managed to dissemble about the Queen attending the D-Day commemorations. On today’s evidence, Jerry Springer has more Prime Ministerial nous than Brown.
It’s all over for Labour for good unless they dump this idiot. The fact that most Labour MPs are to bent, craven or conflicted to do the obvious means none of them are fit for office.
We need a general election now.
It was down to the Palace to make their wishes known……… sounds like he f*cked up and is waiting for a request to come from the palace so he can arrange it at the last minute.
It was for presidents and prime ministers… Canadian Prime minister……… Last time I read Sarcozy and Obama were Heads of State……… Canada and the UK’s Head of Stae is the Queen… ideas above his station?
If the Canadian PM invited the Queen that should really nail brown
Dealing with the country’s issues – he’s the biggest issue facing us.
Where’s Carlos the Jackal when you need him ?
Don’t call for me. I missed de Gaulle’s nose.
Je vais bien, ne t’en fais pas.
But Carlos, you’d only have to notify UK PLC your intentions and a clear shot will be organised…
A dead & rotting cockroach has more Prime Ministerial nous than Brown!
Thankfully he’s working on a middle east peace plan though.
Generally, when he comes on TV I flick the ‘Off’ switch. I already know that whatever he’s saying, he’s going to be lying through his teeth & I ‘m not prepared to ruin my blood pressure for a hoon like that.
I should take the hint, too. Just got back after a nine hour walk trying to calm down.
“Cleaning up the system” repeat after me…..
“Cleaning up the system”

I am opposed to capital punishment (too many cases of getting the wrong man over the years) and my politics are generally left of centre.
But….
In this case the suspects are small in number, they have left behind a clear paper trail of evidence in their own hand and are guilty of the worst crime possible, that of being a government and political class with contempt for its people.
The more I read the more accepting of hangings I become, and the less likley that I will ever vote for a labour candidate in any election ever.
Socialism is great on paper – in practice it always turns into Animal Farm.
“Socialism is great on paper – in practice it always turns into Animal Farm.”
Socialism is the legitimising of theft, jealousy and envy and in its name Socialists steal from those who have and give to themselves the funds which they feel that they, although never having directly worked for them, are theirs by right, in the name of fairness and equality.
They always have and always will act in the same manner, it is in their DNA, ask Gordon McSnot.
PROPETY IS THEFT AS LONG AS IT AINT MY PROPETY WE TALKING ABOUT!!! YA ENGLISH BSTARDS.
That’s the human race for you.
what about those born into money who never work a day in their lives
Lucky them I say. Born into it or earned it’s still their bloody money.
You leave the Benns out of this!
These idiots think Blair and Brown are Socialists.
THat must be why the gap between rich and poor has never been wider and the gap between Cameron and Brown’s Policies have never been smaller.
Remind me about the differences there was on inheritance Tax again ?
Almost as big as they are on Europe.
Dave will talk tough!! But do the same things.
Unfortunately, as well as suffering from jealousy & envy, almost without exception Socialists are completely incompetent & need someone to show them how to tie their shoelaces – Gordon McSnot being a prime example – so they are unable to carry through any action coherently or efficiently – again I refer you to that wouldbe Leader Among Men, Gordon McSnot.
It would not have been so bad if they had stolen from those that had, but they stole from those who had little, all enrich themselves. Show me a poor MP, even socialist or communist!
Yes it would be as bad.
Theft is theft.
Im for capital punishment ( to many innocent people being slain on our streets evryday up and down the country as oppossed hypthetical possibe miscarriages of justice).
Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. Socialism is the reverse.
Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man for mutual benefit.
Socialism is exploitation of man by state for those running the states benefit.
ism, ism, ism,
ism schism…
Just watching the deluded shyster Brown on Andrew Marr lying and spinning his head off..and he can’t even do that convincingly. Even Marr in auto fellate mode can’t help him.
Apparently, as a ‘Presbyterian’ he’s appalled at the expenses scandal…
What a useless, disgraceful tosser.
He’s the sort of hoon who gives Christianity a bad name, hypocritical, lying – and those are only his better qualities.
Blair also has become a man of God. I dread these men of God!
There is no god!
Blair is a c unt, never forget that.
Interesting to note that today the Cardinal Archbishop of Glasgow, O’Brien, (good Scottosh name !), said “politicans” had “fallen from grace” because of “love of money”…
Is he trying to cover up now for the Sectarian/Racist outburst of Thug Chief Crilmianl Labour Whip Brown when speaking about the Fraudulent and criminal Speaker “Gorbals” Marting said :
“We are all Scottish working class Catholic boys”
I the Cardinal woried that the mentality of the crimonal gangs of Gorbals ois now the mentality of Scottish Labour ? i.e. Pillage, thieve and lie ???
Has the Cardinal understood that it is repugnant for the rest of us (Catholic or not) when the New labour Chief Whip makes this astonishiing sectarian/racial statement ?
IN THE NAME OF NEW LABOUR AND CATHOLICS IN SCOTLAND !!!!!

Oh Christ he playing the son of the manse again !
When did Gordon take power away from the executive and to Parliament????
Brown on Marr (an obvious pre-record, with the sunny Waterloo backdrop providing a convenient illusion of verite) just talked about “opening up expenses to public inquisition”.
Is this a slip revealing how he feels about what the Telegraph is doing – a public inquisition?
In other Marr news, there was a nicely understated depth charge dropped when he revealed that under his Great Shining Light policy, BBC staff would have their wages and expenses revealed.
I’d say this is the sort of dirty fighting of a cornered rat.
Yes he also mentioned the NHS………. Foundation Trusts troughing at public expense.
The fact that he mentioned all the other “public institutions” that take paublic money would be subject to it too… says it all……….. under this Government since 1997 they have allowed their supporters to take over public authorities and do their own troughing.
How much can be saved if this truely was cleaned up and restored to a reasonable level of recompense?
Good question – MPs claiming unethical expenses, while scandalous, is not such a big impact on the public purse as corporate fraud and tax evasion – when will this be addressed and ‘restored’ by parliament?
Please wake up. These are already against the law.
never…that’s why they wrote the expenses scandal panto….sleight of hand innit.
You’ve wound me up now Guido. I shall hunt Mr Cook down and kick the fuck clean out of him. Whoever said it was right, dogshit on the sole of our society. Beyond angry.
Drop us a line if you want to round up a posse.
Did somebody call me?
I am unanimous in this
Yes its time for violence – let’s kick the cock off Cook !
Tell us where and when – I’ll be there
Why not go down to Downing Street (named after the act that Brown and Balls perform every Monday morning),and kick the shit out of the fraudster bastard Brown?
The Clunker is bullying Marr and repeating his mantras ad nauseum!
Gordon has always wanted reform so what the feck has he been doing the past 11 years
He has sat on it and allowed people like Gordals Mick to fight a rearguard action to protect their “nice little earner.”
The ONLY reform that the Zanuteam want is the total obliteration of everything British. To “help” smooth the way for the glorious EUSSR, with key members of team ZanuMcUseless holding key positions as their reward.
He has to see where he can repair the damage done by Mrs. Thatch and look for the money and corrrect policy to repair that damage. Mrs. Thatch did so much damage it is going to take more than 4 tewrms to put right.
Thank you Mr Elton – the scales have fallen from my eyes

Go on Andy, he doesn’t like being questioned so go for his throat and make him blow up.
“Nokia, Sir?”
My God he is really rattled and petulant.
Trying to listen to Brown,under no circumstances would I vote for him,he’s a nutter,it’s all I have done this and that.

I thought he was twitching his leg ‘cos he wanted to go wee wee wee all the way home …
I have not seen my feet for years.

Brown says he was brought up in a family which demanded integrity and telling the truth. So what went wrong then Mr Brown?
He says the public expect a higher standard from the Labour Party than other political parties -WTF?
He looks ghastly, body language aggressive, constantly talking over Andrew Marr. If he thinks that the public will be impressed with this abysmal performance he is very much mistaken.
I was actually starting to feel sorry for Brown till I remembered the great pensions theft he pulled off !
Just look at me rap-dance at 25 seconds:

No matter how many times I watch this, it makes me laugh. What a tool!

He’s not one of ours!
Brown looks like the survivor of a tsunami, sitting on a pile of rubble, caked in shit and asking to be rescued.
For Christ’s sake someone put him out of his misery will you?
A baseball bat or a nice piece of 2 x 4 would do the trick.
and blow his fucking head clean off his grotty body,as Clint Eastwood might have said if Brown ever dared to enter San Francisco….
Brown would LOVE it in Gay ole San Fran.
Anyone watching The Prime Mentalist spouting forth gobfulls of shite on Andrew Marrs? He’s chewed his finger nails to the quicks and is constantly putting his hands together as if in prayer, Too late for that Mr brun.

I thought he would be cremated!
His right foot was tapping away in a nervous way in time with his sphincter perhaps??
Saw it too – he is literally a dead man being transported between the bunker and Parliament/TV AM studios and BBC studio’s,which is probably a triangle of 1 mile distance?
Hitler was reduced to the same physical state before he blew his “brains” out in the bunker – tremors etc.
This is our great country this lousy criminal is ruining – we must march NOW.
The most important bit of sleaze and one yet to be highlighted to the necessary degree is this little gold nugget of tax avoidance; “the second home 3 year exemption clause”.
In the yax year 2007/8 this clever bit of tax avoidance triggered by flipping the address of your main home lost the Taxman (us) £14.5 billion. We now know why polticians of all shades but, more especially Government Ministers are loathe to shut of this loophole. Dig a liitle and you may well find they were the “pressure group” most instrumental in introducing this little bit of exploitive artistry onto the statute book of tax laws.
How contradictory is this bit of allowable tax avoidance with the Government’s recent raising of the higher earners’ tax rate to 50% on the basis if you earn more you should pay more, now I am no socialist and believe enterprise and endeavour especially if it creates jobs for others should be rewarded but, any one person who can afford to buy a second home in these crowdwd islands should be able and willing to pay Capital Gains Tax when they sell it.
On a final note remember the figures;
Tax revenue lost through avoidance of Capital Gains Tax when selling second home = £14.5 billion in 2007/8.
Likely tax raise on an annual basis when higher rate tax is lifted to 50% = circa £3 billion.
Can you tell us what the 3 year exemption clause is please?

This has to be read in conjunction with the property machinations of the Chancellor.
Perhaps you would like to do a little calculation of how much tax revenue has been boosted by artificially inflated house prices. Ex ante there is no reason to expect any real terms increase in house values at all: refurbishment should logically add no more than its cost to value. Perhaps a small element of gain where new facilities have been provided to a neighbourhood – but in many cases there is also loss where over development makes localities less pleasant to live in. Overall, the take from CGT on housing should be small, and there should have been no escalation up the Stamp Duty bands.
Inflated mortgage requirements have also benefited banks, who have in turn paid large bonuses that are taxed at the highest rate: the collapse of this source of revenue is dramatic. Investment in the housing bubble has crowded out saving for pensions. It has also led to a substantial deficit on the balance of payments capital account, as the funding for mortgage backed securities has been increasingly raised abroad. Meantime the spending due to the “wealth” effect has also trashed the current account while converting yet more house “equity” to taxes (e.g. VAT, car taxes etc.).
I’m sure you know that the estimate of £3bn for the revenue from the 50% rate is pie-in-the-sky: most reasonable estimates suggest that it will amount to a few hundred million at best. Some not entirely implausible estimates suggest that it may result in a decrease in revenue as high earners flee elsewhere.
16% in the polls today great ceasars ghost thats fantastic news !
Looks like the battle lines have been drawn well and truly by clunker Brown.
The BBC vs Labour Vs Cons.
Could the BBC do a temporary shift to supporting the Cons after Brown just torpedoed them with the threat of taking them down with him in the case of my enemies enemy is my friend.
Looks like the Lib Dems will be favoured by the Beeb from now on after Brown has just ended their parade.
Typical distraction politics – yes we pay for the BBC but we’d be worse off without it having to watch that Sky shite or something resembling US TV (seen that – what crap)
I don’t mind paying a license fee for TV. I do mind paying for Hoons kitchens, propety empires, fuck-off plasma TVs, gardens and the wages of useless bastards who want to lord it over me.
Good for you if you enjoy being forced by threat of imprisonment to pay for such a worthless propagandising institution, such as Pravda on Thames.
I do not.
118 Hear hear!
Jeeeeesus. Some people need to get a grip.
Try watching the other News broadcasts and channels.
They are not that distinguishable from the Beeb if you were being honest.
But the spittle flying hatred on here would suggest a Kim Jong Il style censorship of anything remotely critical of Brown or the Labour Party.
Have you been watching these past few weeks ???
Brown’s poll numbers have dropped like a stone because the Expenses scandal has been reported on all channels including the BBC and on all MP’s that have been featured.
Some of the blatantly partisan Tories on here are living in a dreamworld if they think the BBC will ever act as a slavish conduit for Cameron.
And that won’t change even if they rant and foam at the mouth about Pravda and Commie BBC Hoons every chance they get.
Get yourself over to http://biased-bbc.blogspot.com/ – it’s very educational.
The BBC ate my hamster – if they aren’t that different, why are we threatened with imprisonment if we don’t pay for one?
And sorry, but the pro-government bias on the BBC since Blair and his thugs got their teeth into it, is just painful to behold.
@294 You really are blinkered regarding the BBC bias. Also, it’s one thing paying a TV-tax and it’s another having to watch that fund socialist propaganda. Not to mention handing over 30k tax-pounds to “offended” Muslim lobby groups almost on a whim.
Yes if you like paying for Huhnez like the BBC then do it. I don’t. The BBC is full of leftie Huhnez.
WE need to remember that the BBC was “littered with empty champagne bottles” after B-Liar got elected in 1997. That should tell us something.
Dont worry the latest story line on eastenders will cause no end of trouble for the beeb.
Thou shalt not distort the market.
For raw news go to Sky. For redacted, sanitised new go to BBC.
Correct.
If it puts HM Gov in a bad light…
Redacted, re-redacted, re-edited, to be shown once only, at a mysterious hour of their choosing before killing the story altogether.
Quite amazed by someone up their saying Only ‘Tory’s’ thought this?
Marr has allowed Fillibuster Brown to turn the AM show into the Labour Party Political Broadcast! Sack the pair of them.
No – Mr Marr did the fine job of letting GB repeat his mantra, look rude, hypocritical, out of control and out of touch.
I doubt anyone watching that will ever vote labour again.
McSnot “things go up and down” That’s right! Down with Brown.
Yes they do, as does the markets but you Mr Brown, stiffled the markets by keeping interest rates artificially low for years, result? Worst economic crisis in living memory. Brown and his political goons would eliminate the four seasons if they could !
Tax goes up, the value of personal wealth and standards of life go down – The socialist standard operating proceedure.
What a great election slogan for a non-Labour Party ‘Vote Labour? – go down with Brown’
Or if you work for the BBC, “Go down on Brown”
That’s just too much! Please, can we have some decorum on this site.
or Droon with Broon
Furious AND disengaged? That’s like calling someone ‘bored and fascinated’. Halfwit.
An almost perfect description of a schizoid fugue state… I’ll bet you’re a really unimaginative writer!
So Winky would allow HM & the HRHs to attend the D-Day commemorations if they ask him!!!
The tosser forgets his position.
I get the impression that the relationship between the Queen and Mr Brown is somewhat strained. He was unapologetic that there will be no representation from our Head of State in France next week. He says that Buckingham Palace must answer as to why this situation has arisen.
Furthermore, he says that President Sarkozy intended it to be an occasion that was for Presidents and Prime Ministers only, but if Her Majesty had indicated she wanted to go then he would have made sure it happened.
So there we have it – it is a) the Queen’s fault and b) President Sarkozy’s fault and it had nothing to do with our glorious leader!
He is a loathsome malcontent who is beneath content.
I understand HM wanted to go and was furious that she was not invited. She is also fed up with Brown always arriving late for their meetings.
On a more positive note.
HM has to reopen parliament and make a Speech outlining her Government’s legislative programme for the new session.
If that programme outlines plans for P.R and Constitutional change, it is open to her to refuse to read her speech and dissolve Parliament on TV in front of the World.
Your people will support you Ma’am.
It’s always someone elses’ fault with Brown isn’t it? Shoulders like a milk bottle.
Christ,he’s a cowardly and dishonest bastard.There is no-one,not even the Queen,who is safe from being blamed for any of the numerous disasters he has presided over.It’s never his fault!
Guido has had the campaign -is Brown bonkers?I must say I can’t tell whether he has a personality disorder or is simply the most repellent man in British public life for generations.
Wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing for British dignitaries to trave abroad in the prsent circumstances. Look what happened when Gordon went to Brazil on his last world tour prior to G20 meeting!
Labour MEP’s and Councillors canvassing for election on Thursday have been issued with the form of words they are to use if electors question them about the Expenses Scandal. They are to say :
“I would like to echo Gordon Brown’s words – that I am sorry the political system has let you down. And as for the media reports that a Tory MP is blaming his constituents for his expense claims and thinks that ‘we’re all just jealous’ well I consider that unbelievable.” reported on Scotsman.com
No wonder Labour canvassers have stopped campaigning in large swathes of the country – now they’re being told by No.10 precisely what lies and spin they must use when knocking doors . Labour the unbelievable party !!!!!!!!
Well you have this bunch of muppets campaiging in Newham…… quelle surprise
http://grayee.blogspot.com/2009/05/labour-euro-election-street-stall-in.html
“Christian preachers preaching to passerby’s”
This person can’t even punctuate properly. How can they be taken seriously when they so flagrantly abuse apostrophes?
Well here are my standard ‘form of words’ for them if any dare darken my doorstep:
‘Fuck off you incompetent thieving Nulab hoons. General Election now!.’
They are socialists. They believe in Democratic Centralism. That means the man at the centre is always right, even when he is wrong.
Did I understand Snotty right? Can someone check?
Is it true that the HM the Queen COULD attend the Normandy commemoration, but hasn’t so far wanted to? Did he also say that we should ask the Palace to comment on whether Her Majesty had been invited by him, and if not whether she would like to go?
Sounds like he wants to make her look bad to save his skin. He would blame God if he could.
Didn’t the DM last week say they had a heated debate?? Looks like Bottler has found a way to make the Queen pay for upsetting him.
Absolutely. He is such a childish pratt. What an embarrassment.
110-he does, all the time!
He does (my presbyterian trala)
There is DEFINITELY no god – of any persuasion – there is only man. (& woman, of course!)
And he’s such a good presbytarian. He told us so today.
Gordon to be hauled before Parliament tomorrow to explain why he failed to follow protocol to ensure the Queen attended the D-Day Commemoration.
Majority of MP’s are angry that Veterans gathering in Northern France next week will have to make do with saluting an MOD lackey or God Forbid, Gordon.
MP’s are demandng that Gordon attend Parliament to explain his handling of this fiasco.
This row is only just beginning. Failed Again Gordon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well at least that will be a start… more than the KIA from Afghanistan get, with no MOD representative on the tarmac to honour their coffins.
Where that reported Nell?
Daily Express , New
Just shows that he really is mad as a hatter to cause yet another completely unnecessary problem – because of his own weirdyness.
Jolly Good – hope they televise that – I think it’s something I’d enjoy, watching Gordon being wrongfooted.
The French deliberately left her out of the invitation list and Sarkosy said that although she hadn’t been invited, she could still come along.
I presume that meant she wouldn’t be a VIP but could join the rest of the crowd who will congregate there.
It would be unthinkable after such a deliberate snub, for her to attend.
If I were a veteral of the second world war, I would also refuse to go. Not because she is our queen but because of that puppets jumped up insolence. Better still all the verterans go there armed to the teeth, rape his wife, mow the bastard down and then sack the town.
Ampers.
Ampers.
Punishment sounds a bit harsh but agree with the sentiment.
Whether you’re for the monarchy or not, you have to say they behave with the morality we expect from anyone in public life.
I bet Liz is absolutely seething about the way NuLab have butt f***ed this country to within an inch of bankruptcy.
Bastard frog eaters – they’ve never forgiven us for rescuing them from Der Kaiser Wilhelm & Adolph.
Constitutional change proposed by Christmas to move the electoral goalposts.
This nutter hasn’t even started yet.
Lib/lab pact = PR. I’m out of here.
The Libs are thicker than i thought if they fall for this hook line and sinker, lets just hope Clegg and Cable keep cool heads and the loonies in their ranks at bay.
The Libs want PR at any cost.
Clegg will consider pleasing Brown for the year he has left a small price to pay.
Clegg is a complete charlatan. He doesn’t give a stuff about voters. First whiff of power – when his party could have actually made a difference on the EU constitution – and he reneged on the manifesto.
If he gets £140k the EU, elite-loving Clegg will do whatever Brown wants.
PR – Party politicians only – if 2 people stand as Independents and votes amount to 1 independent – who gets the seat?
PR doesn’t help politics – unless you’re a political party – and Libs are using PR to manoeveure themselves into greater seat representation for their votes – not to represent the people!
As always – look at the small-print – that’s why Lib/Lab are interested in PR, it will stop the independents from getting in and changing things into something more honest!
Not a surprise for those who had been watching closely.
It’s called the Nuclear Option and he can push it through.
It will change Politics completely.
UKIP for example will think all their Christmases have come at once.
Maybe we could pull of what happened Canada when their gov collapsed recently and the main party in power was then reduced to two seats when the public went to the polls.
Would be funny if Clegg and Brown where the only labour and lib dem seats left after a near wipeout by the public under a PR GE.
Wont happen under PR – there isn’t a mechanism contained within PR to allow for independents… this means that the electorate can only vote for Party Politics – the independents get squeezed out – can’t guess why this is suddenly an inviting new political idea – what with the new reality show starting in 2010: I’m A Celebrity … Vote Me Into Parliament!
I don’t think even Brown the Twat can force PR through without a referendum….at least, I think he’d be very unwise to try.
Dave wants to change the entire mechanics of Voting with recall Elections so he’s blundered into this can of worms already.
Brown didn’t pay much heed to calls for a referendum on Lisbon so a referendum is not inevitable but if he wanted it could be arranged quicker than you might imagine with Commons support and would have the benefit of being a massive diversion away from the piggies for a while.
Then you would have a newly strengthened UKIP keeping their momentum up and campaigning for it too of course.
Course he might just put a referendum in the Election when it comes ala Johnson’s idea but the powers of the PM are now Presidential without the Presidential checks and balances.
So in essence YES he certainly has the power to do so and could indeed shove it through particularly if the public wanted it as polls indicate they do. So it’s entirely possible we could see PR soon.
andrew marr interview with gordon brown…my verdict…half an hour of verbal diarrhea….and marr let it happen,michael.
Disagree, I thought Marr did a pretty fair job, sometimes its better letting politicians hang themselves rather than shout them down. Brown is toast and the whole country knows it.
anonymous 10.09. apart from gordon brown, when is someone ,in the cabnet going to have the guts to tell him?michael.
I know I’m fiddling while Luton, Ellesmere Port the whole damn shithole of a country burns but er, that’s the plan, suckers!
Just seen that slimy toad McTwat avoid every single question put by Andrew Marr on the beeb.
He just doesn’t get it at all. Everything into the long grass for ever. I think he just blew whatever remnants of any chance of him and his shit party surviving the next month or two. He’s potty…
Have just watched PM on Andrew Marr. Want to apologise for all negative remarks about Brown. What I didn’t realise is that he’s dealing with the REAL ISSUES. Silly me.
This man Brown seems to have all the answers and appears to hhave been wanting reform for years. He should be the Prime minister.
Arf!
When can we vote for him? He’s clearly a visionary. I just don’t think the public get it.
McSnot seems to think that he’s talking to the sort of people that read Heat and OK! But those sort of people don’t watch political programs (if Marr’s program can be referred to in such a way). The man is completely deluded.
W-w–w-w-we are dealing with this…
Not prerecorded, then – I thought the blurred out face on Big Ben was a giveaway. Not so. I also thought that a man whose party was at 16% in the polls would show more humility. Not so.
The tension between the poll on Thursday and the revelation of the results on Sunday will be unbearable. Perhaps some suitable entertainments could be laid on?
The most this blog goes to is a pot noodle and a wank.
What!!!!Who’s got my pot noodles!!
Is that a new flavour?
Such as public hanging of the MEPs who fail to get a seat?
Brown on Marr was in his usual “I speak your weight” persona. reeling off reams of bogus “statistics”.He did say though that he would not quit.Apparently we are to have a new Constitutional Settlement; on to final victory mein Fuhrer!
Warning to voters
Susan Boyle, the most popular talent star in the history of the Internet, was pipped at the post by a team of street dancers who were, admittedly, good. However, the real reason she lost is a salutary lesson to everyone – especially since the EU elections imminent (June 4th).
Susan lost because so many of her fans didn’t bother to vote. They were certain it would be a push-over for her to win.
Same with politics. Millions are thinking right now that the opinion polls are suggesting Labour and the Tories are going to get a good hiding, so they will not bother to vote. Forget the opinion polls, because people read them and think it’s a “done deal”, the voters will stay at home, and both Conservative and Labour will do well. Less action will then be taken by the politicians to put their house in order, and changes like “recall” and “more transparency” will not happen.
If you want to see changes in the structure of Government, you have to go and vote, and preferably vote for any party other than the three main parties. Make no mistake, The Liberal Democrats may not have dipped in as much as the other two, but they are too close to the seat of government not to have known what was going on. They should have warned the public rather than ‘cosying’ up to Labour.
People died so you would have the right to vote. Don’t betray their memories in such a sullied fashion.
Ampers
Susan Boily did not win because she was not a likable personality, maybe because she is a Scottish Presbyterian?
She states that she is but the constant pouting, leg showing and flashing appears she is looking for someone to give her one up the chutney mary – a bit like Gordon?
Aye it’s in Labours interests for people not to vote as a non vote is a vote for Labour as the past two terms of them has shown.
People need to turn out in record numbers and give them a hiding a symbollic hiding they’ll never forget or dare risk another Blair and Brown trick again.
Really? I thought it might be another fix by the bookies. Odds on favourite win means big payout, so it’s cheaper to pay off the vote counters.
The real lesson here is the result you get using postal voting. (Electronic in this case.)
Cui bono? Simon Cowell of course. If Boyle had won who would remember Diversity in 2 weeks time? For the price of one he has 2 products. As usual a masterstroke!
If only we could get someone as effective as him at the helm we might have a chance. Every call he makes he gets dead right. He completely understands bread and circuses and is brilliant at it. Compare with snotty.
Agree wholeheartedly.
Agree with you Ampers. I’m busily reminding all my friends. Who they vote for is their business but they need to vote.
I thought Susan Boil was McBroon in drag?
Libdems behave like a whited sepulchre. They are just as bad as the rest.
WTF is Brown on about?
Brown senior made a living telling fairy stories on a Sunday to gullible people in the community, who then paid for the Brown family’s living expenses, on the promise of delivery of a benefit at some future date – sounds familiar?
What a wise summary.
Socialism and communism are the birth children of religion anyway. It makes me laugh when people think they’re being ‘cool’ and ‘edgy’ by supporting communism and socialism when it’s the same backwards religious empires garbage yet just reworded differently.
Much like the Lisbon treaty that’s been reworded yet is the same thing and leads to the same thing i.e. turning the EU into a poor mans 21st century attempt at a Holy Roman Empire.
Much like that Socialist Commie George Bush then.
He never shut up about God telling him to start Wars, warn everyone of loony ideas likes Evolution and the Earth being over 6000 years old and generally ordering Bush about like he was some kind of halfwitted moron.
Though Bush may indeed have confused God with Dick Cheney as he and Republicans often do.
Surely the whole point of an empire is to stop the various little bits of it fighting each other?
Oh, and to produce some fantastic troughing opportunities.
I think you’ll find that Brown’s Mummy was related to wealthy people who put a trust fund in place for her because she chose to marry a penniless minister.
Yes, I believe Mrs Brown Senior’s family more or less supported the Ranting Preacher & his family. Who then passed out largesse to his parishioners who fell to their knees in amazement & kissed his hands as they saw him as the provider of it. Needless to say the RP never mentioned the fact that it was actually his rich inlaws who provided the money. Like father, like son eh?
Indeed. And more to the point, they were Tories. Brown doesn’t mention that, does he?
Listen you peasants, this is the latest spiel laid down by the Supreme Leader :
“Due process”. Got that? Everything must await “due process”. Even that slimy toad Marr asked him why Blears was still there and he replied : we must have “due process”.
It’s the right thing to do.
Sounded like all a load of quangos to me.
He’s dealing with the big issues. (needs some experience as will be selling them on street corners soon)
Wasn’t Bill Cash wittering on about Due Process when he was squirming on TV ?
Must be the new catchphrase.
“It was all within the rules” must be wearing a touch thin.
“Due Process” – leftie speak for ‘taxpayer paid’ whitewash.
I’m sure I heard something similiar with the Dr Kelly report – I’m sure the small-print in the appendixes will make for interesting reading – a Nu Labour spin trick – like the truth, and the evidence, and all the things that Nu Labour don’t want you to know about, and you’ll never bother to find or read it.
Marr & the BBC are displaying their bias again – Ian Duncan Smith was kicked off the sofa so that Gordon could cosy up to the fragrant Helena Kennedy and Jerry Springer.
Did I hear some argy-bargy going on in the background whilst the News was being read when IDS was removed?
Yes there was a definite commotion going on. I wonder what it was….. MrBroon having a go at Marr for going against the agreed line?
Was it the sound of nokias being hurtled through the air ?
Sounded like an expensive piece of TV studio kit accidentally crashing to the floor to me.

Absolutely true.
Well put.
And yes, I didn’t bother to vote for Susan Boyle – I don’t watch the programme but love her singing. She should have won.
A salutory lesson indeed.
Get out and vote but just remember Farage has taken £2,000,000. Another UKIP MEP is a fraudster and yet another most unsavoury indeed.
Don’t fall into the establishment rabbit trap yet again.
I think she lost because she picked the wrong song. She sang that one the first time – beautifully. She arsed up the second song. She should have sung a different song altogether, without muffing it, and she’d have won. The version last night was not as well sung as the first time she did it and gave the impression she was only good at her “party piece”. She can sing, I have relatives who know her personally.
I really, honestly couldn’t give a fuck.
Farage was misquoted.
He was talking about his total cost as an MEP.
All MEP costs are comparable with Farage’s.
The total cost of a Westminster MP over the same period is in the same order.
Who is consistently smearing UKIP and why?
Because they have had ten years and have achieved absolutely ZERO.
The establishment love them and promote them every EU election to sop up, uselessly, the anti EU vote.
They have hardly a single councillor and poll derisory numbers in council and general elections.
They are an establishment con job.
Boyle lost cos her PR team weren’t up to the job. We had a leaflet through our door urging us to “Support Diversity on Britains Got Talent”.
Excuse me, did I miss something here? Was it “Britain’s got Talent” or was it “Britain’s got diversity”?
Well pissed off the Flatley’s didn’t make it into the top three.
Did they have our Prime Albatross’s best wishes hanging round their neck?
If and when you vote on Thursday 04-Jun-09 for an MEP just remember this video:
These MEP’s ran off like cockroaches exposed to light with their wheelly bags after clocking in and out at 07:00 am on a Friday morning so they could claim their full day’s allowance and fcuk off back home.
These asbsolute scum twatbags all want putting up against the wall and shooting.
And Kinnock is different how?
He’s another trougher!
Now ain`t that just fine and dandy – I did see the original clip on RTL many moons ago and thought that review of it was long overdue. Only to be brusquely informed that :
“Dieses Video ist in deinem Land nicht verfügbar.”
Meaning, “This video is not available in your country” – my country just happens to be Germany, and the villains of the piece are all German!
Coincidence or enemy action? Does anyone know if the denial has come from RTL or from the so-called Parliamentarians? I wouldn`t put it past them, as quite recently we had a Socialist `MP´ that obtained a court order blocking access to the German version of Wikipedia – because he didn`t like the true but uncomfortable facts detailed there.
Not just Cook.
Didn’t it come out that a couple of MPs have claimed for memorial poppy wreaths?
As for Cameron today it appears he cold bloodedly ripped off the taxpayer for over £22,000 by a remortgage.
What a hypocrite.
A fox in charge of the hen house methinks.
There are probably less than fifty in the whole of Westminster who are not conniving thieving b’s. Then add the corruption of UKIP.
Thats our present political class.
Thats why I am voting unmentionable.
God help England.
Will no one rid us of these disgraceful lying and layabout robber scum.
At least I can scare the sh.. out of them.
Tell me when and I’ll be there.
Read the story properly.
Cameron did not make a penny extra out of it.
He flipped his mortgage and the taxpayers pick up the interest tab.
“Cold bloodely”. Indeed. Quite shocking. Only a Tory could claim expenses “cold bloodedly”, eh?
Cameron is now in the shit:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1189788/Cameron-took-maximum-taxpayer-funded-mortgage–paid-75k-loan-months-later.html
Yes, we read that and i fail to see how claiming for a second home which was your second home and paying off your 75K loan yourself is fiddling.
Looks like Brown’s trying a pre-election smear and the Mail should know better than a “there’s no suggestion he did anything wrong” Read the article it makes complete unintelligible.
Daily Mail’s editor Paul Dacre has been a long time big buddy of McMoron.
He is clearly trying to do one last favour for McMoron before next week’s election.
Infighting in the Tory Party.
One (or more) of the corrupt Tory MPs who has been outed has called in a favour.
no need- Dacre is a chum of Brown
so what? We know he’s rich in his own right. Doesn’t mean he should work for nothing. He hasn’t fiddled. He was as entitled to a second home allowance and he used it, like most of them.
It was all within the Rules!!!!!
Nothing to see here, move along please.
Yeah right. Hypocrites.
Bastard hypocrite “call me Dave” Camaleon smells worse than a vindaloo extraction in the toilet .
Just another bullshiting piggy in the trough along with the rest of are political elite.
What is the second home allowance for?
Take your time, this is quite a difficult one.
If you have not worked it out in half an hour I’ll give a multiple choice answer.
I’ve been troll-seeking all morning and finally there you are! as inevitable as a tampon disposal unit in a ladies’ loo
So, Cameron is a flipper too.
The zanulabcons ‘higher ups’ are mostly all ‘flippers’. This explains the distracting attacks on the minor backbench troughers.
No – he only had one house in London when he became an MP. It was his main home then and still is – the one where his family lives.
When he became MP he bought a second house in his constituency which is what he is claiming for.
Well, okay, lets argue semantics.
But, whatever way you look at it, Cameron used the system and our money to massively enrich himself.
Sure, it is within the rules….
well you can say that about every single one who had a second home then….I think you are missing the point. Cameron has done nothing more than claim his entitlement – the spin on that is just leftie smear. The only thing they have is that he actually has wealth in his own right. So fucking what? No doubt his parents worked hard for it, and his wife works hard now. The second home allowance not means tested, and he was entitled to have a home in his constituency. This is just a pathetic attempt in advance of thurs, and in response to the latest polls to try and knock a few points off the Tories. Pathetic when there’s so much legitimate complaint to be made about all the parties.
David Cameron is a thief: he is no better than a common or garden housing benefit cheat.
He is a millionaire yet still he stole from the taxpayer.
He stole by seeking to maximise his allowance and his error of judgment has caused to committed an act of fraud against the public purse.
Dave just couldn’t fucking wait to start claiming all that lovely public lolly!
As much as poss!
The fraudster’s fingers were twitching so much that they could not wait even a full calender month before they picked up a pen to fraudulently fill out a claim for £1700 of taxpayers cash to pay for mortgage interest payments on one of his many houses.
Iti almost seems as if that mortgage was taken out with the express intention of it being used as a device to make the false claim possible!
David Cameron is a fraudster and is not fit to become prime minister of this country.
The Conservative Party will have to find another leader.
They better hurry up.
Time is running out.
So the Second Homes allowance is to raise money on one home to pay off another because then the taxpayer picks up the interest on the remortgage ?
Horseshit. He’s a piggy and you are partisan hypocrites.
Brown should be disqualified from making any pious burblings about the Expenses Scandal because of his loan to his brother and Dave should certainly shutthefuck up about how shocked and disgusted he is with all the OTHER MP’s doing this for the same reason.
Dave also said “it was within the rules” was not an acceptable excuse.
Except when it comes to him of course.
I doubt the public will see a milionaire parasite squeezing the taxpayer to pay for a lavish home as the acceptable face of the Tory Party.
Just seen Squeakums on the Andrew Marr show completely failing to sidestep the question of whether any MP that stands down will be upped to the House of Lords.
What a Huhne.
“You do it to yourself…you do …. and that’s what really hurts…”
My constituency MP, Khalid Mahmood, claimed for 9 nights @ £175 a night in a luxury hotel in London with his girlfriend. (He’s a devout Muslim, of course).
I’ve hoped for years that he could be got rid of, but the odds are stacked against it. The constituency falls into two halves, a smaller northern half, mostly white, and a larger southern half, mostly Asian, so the MP will always be an Asian, leaving the white population effectively disenfranchised. I wonder how “constitutional reform” could possibly fix this.
Her name is Cohen; he will be in trouble with his Muslim brothers!
A Muslim porking a Jew.
Hmmm. I could be up for a bit of that once I’m MP for Luton South.
I must say I burst out laughing when that came out.Wonder how he’ll explain that away down the mosque.
Plan F
Propose an Electoral Reform Bill which will be disadvantageous to the Tories, who will in turn try to block said reform. Point to Tories as standing in the way of progress, openness and fairness and any other verb you could think of. All to be in place before next election.
Will there be time for all the committees and consultations with the offices of circumlocution to report before the GE of 2014 nevermind the next one?
No, probably not, that’s why it’s plan F.
Nope. Which might be the whole point.
I think it may join the National Plan for Renewal; they can have a cuddle in the long grass.
Nope. It won’t work. The pubic aren’t buying anything Brown’s selling. There simply has been too much troughing at Parliament on Brown’s watch and he’s fucked the economy too.
Don’t think the public or Dave has much of a choice old man.
He’s still the PM and he has a majority in the commons.
Major limped on to the very end too so Brown has a year left whether people like it or not.
The public weren’t too impressed with bailing out the bankers or the Iraq war either. They still went through.
Besides a majority of the public support this, the Conservatives are happy to use it in scotland and UKIP will be delighted.
Brown has a year left ONLY if NuLabour let him. Come June 5th I’d be updating my CV if I were Brown. It is going to be a bloodbath. When all said and done, depite all the cross party troughing, Labour are in government and they will feel the the wrath of hard-working families.
A BLOODBATH I TELL YOU.
The same NuLabour that didn’t have the Balls to oust him before ?
No, I wouldn’t place to much hope in that happening particularly since NuLabour will want to see how his reshuffle and and the mass of new reforms go down with the public not to mention that those serious about taking the top job would hardly want it for a few months and then get beaten.
It would take a clear and heavily supported candidate for the Labour Party to rally behind and they simply do not have one. They have one or two names who express interest yet always back down when push comes to shove and as we know the mechanism for upending a Labour PM is tortuous and not easily overcome.
He’s still most likely to be there till the bitter end and he will push through whatever “spoiler” legislation against the Tories he can before he goes.
The Media is already primed for a Labour Disaster come June the 5th and Brown will have his lines ready for them. We’ve seen this before you know.
And the Media might just want to concentrate on UKIP’s massive vote for a while.
Which might not be to Cameron’s taste as it could re-open the whole Eurosceptic fracture just when he needed it least. Of course the Eurosceptics might be fine with Dave carrying on as usual we simply don’t know. But he’s not going to promise a referendum on staying in Europe so the Eurosceptics can stamp their little feet all they want about that because it simply ain’t gonna happen.
I popped into Primark this morning, filled 5 carrier bags with clothes then walked out forgetting to pay. Silly me, an error on my part!
I was stopped outside the shop by two security guards and escorted back into the shop. How embarrassing for me that the public should be able to see this spectacle, surely that’s a breach of my human rights?
I realised my error immediately and offered to pay for the items, but the shop refused and called the police.
I was taken to the police station, searched, photographed, fingerprinted, and had my DNA taken. I tried to offer the nice policeman a monkey to forget about it, but they totally ignored me! What’s this country coming to when a monkey is not enough to persuade a policeman?
I am now on bail pending a court appearance in 10 days time. Thankfully I know the judge, an old school chum of mine, and I have my alibi ready, so all should be well.
Here’s that alibi in full:
* It was an error on my part and I will write a cheque for the full amount now
* My salary isn’t sufficient to cover the cost of clothes, so I have to top up my income using other means
* My husband has shoplifted before and said it would be OK
* I am nomadic
* My house is the size of Balmoral and you are jealous
* It was within the rules as I understood them
* My health is poor
* I may have done wrong. It’s regrettable but I am not sorry. Can I have my peerage now?
* Er, that’s it.
Add:” It’s hard enough being a working mother without having to pay for my clothes myself.”
You are okay you still have that fat pension.
and “I am not good at the figures..not my strong suit”
Bravo, encore, more!
* I only stole five bags of clothes so I could hold my head high [see 318]
you forgot ” the security systems in place within the shop need reviewed and Ive arranged a comittee to look into it and report back in 2014″
* The manager encouraged me to shoplift by not complaining previously
My child died recently and I am still grieving
You should have blamed it on Margaret Thatcher.
The deranged, pisser of pants appears to have new jaw impediment. He was working it furiously when ‘confronted’ by the human lettuce this morning.
Instead of its customary rotational movement, the jaw was working in an up/down plane. This, if anything, was even more deeply unattractive than usual, as it led to his hyper-active mandible repeatedly retracting into his rather voluminous chins.
I suspect that this action has been influenced by the sunny weather, which has made him think wistfully of the forbidden pleasures of his carefree, bachelor days on Cape Cod. I think that we are all going to suffer for this.
Pity he didn’t catch something deeply unpleasent during his Cape Cod days & save us all this current fandango.
You are assuming any self-respecting homosexualist would deign to penetrate Gordo’s wobbly hairy spotty white arse. He was probably only allowed to sit on the side and watch the clusterfuck – quite good preparation for being PM in fact.
Just unbelievable.
If it had been accepted, he would not have said a word.
Just remember – the first thing he must have thought when he put the money in was ‘I can claim this back’. Then he must have waited the whole of Sunday, gone to sleep, woken up, and remembered, ‘ah, yes, the claim for the Battle of Britain church service’. Then he would have gone in to work, up the stairs to the Finance office, written out the claim with this in mind, and put it in, in full knowldge of what he was doing…
Just read somewhere that 15 of those thrifty Scots MPs at Holyrood have claimed for wreaths.
How very prudent of them in this harsh economic climate
Their own I hope
Re: the ad.
Isn’t it about time Timmy Mallett was put down?
He’s suffered enough.
We’ve suffered enough.
PMW’s is a blame association game…
Is anyone able to complete it?
I meant PMQ’s
Mohammed Sarwar represents another example of the oily third world political practises that multiculturalism has bought to the British political table, and is something we don’t need as there is enough of the home grown variety to keep in check.
U a raysisst innit!
Multiculturalism means the adoption into our society of the corruption, ballot rigging, intimidation, and violence which are common place in the homelands of our immigrants.
Why has it not meant that they adopt what were the British cultures of honesty and integrity?
During the Andrew Marr show today Gordon Brown clearly stated that “we (the Labour Government?) have removed the royal perogative”
Which one is that and as the Monorch is the only check on Parliament what is its impact?
Didn’t notice that one. Is there anything he won’t do to wreck this country? Does he understand all the checks and balances that served us well for many centuries?
Brown being selective with the facts as usual – Only in certain areas – such as “Declaration of War” now on vote of Parliament. HMQ can still prorogue parliament;dismiss and appoint PMs although it is customary to do so on the “advice of her current PM or exceptionally the Privy Council I believe
So can the Privy Council recommend the dissolution of Parliament to HM even if the PM is “late for the meeting”.?
i.e. absent.
Timmy Mallet for PM in my opinion.
I presume you mean for post mortem.
apologies if this has been mentioned before travelling so don’t have time to go through all the posts
More people intend to vote Liberal Democrat than Labour in the next general election, a new poll suggests in another massive blow to Prime Minister
as Labour party slips to third place in poll
The ICM survey for the Sunday Telegraph put Mr Brown’s party in third place for the first time since 1987 on just 22% – three points adrift of the Lib Dems and 18 behind David Cameron’s Conservative Opposition.
It also confirmed Labour fears of a hammering at the hands of voters in Thursday’s Euro elections, with the party again in third place on just 17%.

Just got this from the BBC website, estimated cost to us to get rid of the fiddling fuckers, and they sent our boys to war …
Ben Chapman: £36,269
Derek Conway: £64,766
Christopher Fraser: £32,383
Douglas Hogg: £59,585
Julie Kirkbride: £32,383
Andrew MacKay: £64,766
Ian McCartney: £64,766
Margaret Moran: £54, 403
Anthony Steen: £32,383
Peter Viggers: £32,383
Ann Winterton: £38, 860
Nicholas Winterton: £32,383
Source: BBC estimates for resettlement grants, based on length of service and age
That’s a total of £545,330 for twelve of them, an average of £45,444 each. Therefore to rid the House of Commons of Swine Flu will cost just £29.72 million.
This is a fine on taxpayers for voting out encumbents.
Couldn’t we just cull them & save ourselves the money? A bit like the Mayans & their Sun God – absolute top dog in the village for a year – then it’s off to the sacrifice stone & whoops – no heart. Very suitable or our MPs under the circumstances I think. And they’ve had a lot longer than a year.
You have to add to that salary and exes up to the GE. If they make it that far they get an additional 1 year salary at termination, so a year to go:
Approx 2 years salary at 64K = 128K
“” 1 year exes ave. = 145K
273K
MPs x 12
= 3,276K
Together with the above is the total cost of getting shot of them
4 million bloody quid for 12 of them! The first reason they should have to go now!
that’s amazing.
how much would it cost not to get rid of them then?
I think everyone of us should inundate the said Frank Cook with emails
cookf@parliament.uk
and tell him to fuck off
and browng@parliament.uk
and camerond@parliament.uk
milburna@parliament.uk
get the idea?
I bet he charges you for responding.
They all claim it on expenses, as addition to their £10,000 communication allowance! MPs are very, very clever when it comes to feather their own nests.
Frank ‘Crook’, what a sleazy little shit. I’m not sure who’s worse, Ed Balls cliaming for rememberance day wreaths or Crook claiming for what he put in the collection plate. Certainly they’re both arseholes.
It seems that British & Commonwealth troops are only wanted by the French and Americans when they’re dying for them. Otherwise they can sod off: Obama & Sarkozy – No Honour, No Respect and No Gentlemen.
The British and Canadian contingent was bigger than the American one on D-Day.
The British and Commonwealth contingent was bigger than the American for six weeks after D-Day. On D-Day itself, the British contingent alone was bigger than the American.
All of the garbage that sit in the sewers of Westminster, MP’s, Lords et al think they can re-write Rogets Thesaurus, and think the electorate will buy it.
For thieving substitute ‘an error’, for fraud substitute ‘a mistake’, for dishonesty ‘an oversight’.
It’s high time the Police did what they are paid to do, and arrest those Lords, Ladies and dishonourable members, and let a jury (the court of public opinion) decide their errors.
problem is that justice is whatever APCO says it is – and they only follow instructions from Common Purpose.
We live in an ACPO state.
Whatever state we’re in, it’s in a f*cking state
..think the electorate will buy it.
They’re right – we do. Who votes these tossers in? We do.
If you don’t like the way your MP behaves, vote the b*st*rd out. And if you don’t like the next one, vote that twat out too.
Just been watching Esther Rantzen on Sky.
Does Luton South want her as an MP?
Good God I hope not.
She doesn’t want Ed Balls to replace Darling as he is doing a great job where he is.
Not a word on sleaze etc.
With two faced judgement like that she shouldn’t be delivering leaflets, never mind little more than conniving her way into parliament on the back of Moran’s rip off of the taxpayer.
She should be toast.
She is establishment through and through – that is why the media is busy promoting her.
We all face being scammed yet again – in the name of ‘independents’. We need ‘independents’ who represent we the people, not the elite.
I suggest also, you all take a second look at the people behind the ‘Jury team’.
Again establishment.
Again a con.
Millibland on next.
Surely the point of voting for non party affiliated independents is that it will take them longer to find and exploit the loopholes?
The only alternative to electing more leeching troughers is to hold public referendums on every issue. That’s really not difficult given today’s technology.
The oft repeated argument by opponents that it would lead to the re-introduction of hanging is one that I suddenly find quite appealing.
Just remember “Dicks pussies and assholes”
If Esther Ranzten were standing in my constituency I’d be tempted to vote for any other candidate. The woman’s a vapid, publicity seeking, overpaid-from-by-BBC troughing prat. Who else is going to throw their hat into the ring? Graham Norton? Jordan?
Anyway, Moran isnt going to contest Luton next election so Rantzen’s not needed as a ‘white suit’ candidate.
She should do us all a favour and just fuck off.
She should have done us all a favor and not fucken in in the first place.
She is actually incredibly dangerous.
Her political party is the BBC, who will back her to the hilt.
Fuck impartiality– she’s one of ours,
says the BBC.
One of the most chunder engendering things I have seen on TV was when Esther and her son were on celebrity who wants to be a millionaire. The level of smugness and self satisfaction made me think instantly of being in a meeting with Tessa Jowell and David Blunkett – not something one wants to think of too often.
The smell of the trough is irresistible! She is a good opportunist, establishment (therefore, part of the problem) through and through.
Iain Dale wants to be a tory MP,I thought torys hated GAYS
They like uphill gardeners though.
The Tories hate LOWER-CLASS gays. Homosexuality was always a big feature of the public schools.
And so he sould be! His superb judgement over Madine Dotties and Piggy Krookbride will vault him to the very top in no time.
JJ. get on and make the tea for Brown. That is a total NON story. Even the papers that print tha trash say that Cameron acted fully within the rules. The only thing is that he could/possibility/may/ have been able to reduce the amount of mortgage on his second home.
I believe this has been fed to the Mail and Sunday sleeze (they, remember do not have the full dvd of expenses) by the Labour Government dirty tricks department.
The biggest laugh was BROWN this mornig saying that he has acted with total propriety!!!!!! Flat now in wife#’s name come off it Broon. Kitchen spread over two expense years! Come orf it Broon.
He is the finished man. A TRUE DEAD MAN WALKING!
What Cameron has done is no more than another form of ‘flipping’.
As a multi millionaire the thought he would remortgage to foist the cost of a second home on to taxpayers – many of whom wouldn’t earn a million in a life time is damn well worse than the ‘duck house’ fiasco in my book.
Those on here who are trying to justify Cameron are nothing more than Tory propagandists.
You cannot excuse a filthy rich man ripping off the tax of office cleaners.
Again ‘in the rules’ maybe, but flipping all the same, and a downright disgrace.
So, the next time the organisation you work for asks you to stay away from home for 2 or 3 nights per week, don’t claim any expenses if you have enough in your bank account to fund it yourself.
Not bad but a bit weasely if you are honest.
I’m not sure Dave will try that one as a justification.
I await more of his hilarious hypocrisy about the unacceptable greed of those MP’s he doesn’t like (Eurosceptics and the grandees) while telling them that “it was within the rules” simply won’t do.
The Mail on Sunday. Labour propaganda Rag!!!
Keep the funnies coming please.
The point is that the taxpayer shouldn’t be funding expensive mansions as second homes.
A second home should be some small place handy to Westminster, if any such ‘second home’ is needed at all.
Why are second homes mansions and not even necessarily within the MP’s constituency?
Second homes were to allow MP’s to stay in London for late night voting.
The hours are now changed and the ‘rules’ changed to allow what is actually a total abuse of the original concept.
The Scottish parliament has one right answer to this.
Riings around the parliament and mimimal expenses to cover the need of accommodation according to distance.
Another would be a block of government owned flats allotted to those living beyond reasonable commuting distance on election.
David Cameron has troughed out huge.
Stop trying to defend him. Its blatantly partial and totally dishonest.
No there was no flipping.
After becoming MP he bought a second home in his constituency. His first home in London was and still is his main home.
It certainly was a form of flipping.
To raise money on one home to pay off another because then the taxpayer picks up the interest on the remortgage – stinks.
I’m not Tory but the only possible criticism against Cameron on this would be on the grounds of quantum not principle. He’s pretty much in the clear and at least has taken some action within his own party.
Brown on the other hand brings out the Presbyterian prayer while doing nothing about the troughers within his cabinet and attempting to kick the issue into the long grass.
Compare the BBC’s ‘interrogation’ of Cameron today by Jon Sopel with the gentle half volleys lobbed at Brown by Andrew Marr. Despite this the deluded Brown still messed up – even Marr seemed to be getting a little pissed off with Brown’s evasions.
We need a general election now.
More likely compare Sopel’s treatment of Cameron with his subsequent provision of Mandleson with a platform for inuendo about Cameron’s mortgage arrangements. He made no attempt to divert the former beneficiary of Geoffrey Robinson’s largesse back to any questions about Brown’s failure to deal with Labour sleaze.
Any half-decent journo should have been asking Mandleson how/why an alleged democracy ends up with someone as a senior cabinet minister who resigned his seat as an MP after twice being obliged to stand down as a minister because of allegations of shady practice.
Quite right Moral L.
What I don’t get is how on earth Gordon and his crappy crew still have supporters who have the affrontary to stick up for them. They must like being masochists. He’s the worst Prime Minster we have ever had; leading the worst government we have ever had; creating the the largest debt we have ever had. And to top it all he has the largest cabinet we have ever had, with the biggest bunch of hoons ever assembled.
Your Majesty (I know you read this blog). This is a plea from all your poor pleaders who are now totally brassed of by this long running comic opera. Please dissolve this shambles an give our country its dignity back.
Things aren’t looking any better through a hangover.

Evenin’ all. Its all on computer (even Blairs) and as all you paedos know even if those records are deleted we can still find them….mind how you go
Setting me computer on fire now you wont get me!!
House of Commons staff have all been instructed to leave their computers on a train seat or sell them at school fetes with all the information still on them.
Its called putting information the public domain.
The Independent on Sunday’s headline: ” After the fiddles come the freebies”.
Notice how Brown puts his hands together and directs them with a stabbing motion at the heart of any interviewer who dares to criticise him.
This is somebody who not only cannot take criticism, but who has a strong pathological reaction against it.
A nutter in other words.
I thought the clasping and directing of hands towards an opponent symbolised someone in need of sexual relief?
That’s what I was told in Berkeley (not at Berkeley) anyhow.
Re frank Cook : absolute disgrace , tin hearted man indeed
On Andrew pravda show , Gordon was inflated mumbling nutter , it was untelligiable ,boring full of conflicts, no clear views other than immediate point score from question , iam going to be doing this and that , difficult times , we need reform , end gentlemns club. “look your offending my presbyterian conscience” , shut up shut up , i am the great leader , exterminate , must appear to have center ground , musnt give torys any ammo , must like popular culture , avoid saying i will sack anyone . What was that one on D day commemeration “better check with Buckingham palace” what was that about , did he ensure the queen qas going or not ???
Andrew at least did question him , and i think marr was getting a bit pissed off as he had given him prime slot to put things and just got this vague , unbalanced and slightly unhinged interview , by the great leader . But why didnt marr go for the ecnomic questions “will we have to go to the IMF” ,”how do you intend to pay the borrowings back” “what will be our important export markets in the next 5 years” “will ed balls make chancellor”
Moneys on london mafia realising hes blown it today seeing what they can cobble together as excuses when firdays election results are counted in , but then they end his reign of terror and incompetence, they have to take it now , but it looks like hes had his big chance today to communicate to the electorate and blew it .
Andrew Marr is generally deferential to his interviewees. Even then Gordon Brown proved he’s truly a lame duck PM! Doesn’t realise people are fed up of his obfuscation.
I switch Marr off at the start where he is smugly driving that Bob marly convertible at licence payer expense.
Bernie Miliband on the Boulton Show just now. Appears from the facial acrobatics observed, to be fouling his breeks every time he starts a sentence. Doing that veiled threat of litigation thing that only the guilty and their associates can.
Do you mean Wallis or is it Gromitt?
I mean Bernie not Mike. Schnorbitz of course is ashamed to be a St.Bernard with all these disgraceful goings on.
The Miliband brothers really are the reincarnation of Mike and Bernie Winters and ten times funnier particularly when Dave pulls faces and does that trick with the banana.
We need to ask David Cameron:
ACA (Additional Costs Allowance for MPs second homes) and LCA (London Costs Allowance of £7 500 pa no receipts & no questions asked of MPs)
should these be Means Tested?
No
No.
fucking hell! you two c’unts must be EU stooges.
no checking if expenses are necessary?
you arseholes.
you give away your own money if you want you fucking wankers, but freeloaders like cameron will have to show far more respect when public funds are involved.
for fucks sake little pig and anticitizen: you two are a pair of fucking criminals!
Thick as pigshit, learn to read.
The question was “should expenses be means tested?”
We say no.
DOH!
is that the sound of your gears crunching into reverse?
yes it fucking is!
do not insult the intelligence of the reader you fucking criminal.
they can see for themselves what you said.
you are a thief’s apologist.
ofcourse they should be means tested or thieving c’unts like david cameron will screw the arse out of them!
you are part of the problem.
and you have also exposed yourself as an EU lickspitttle. you and dave have been rumbled.
Interesting though that the Huhnes at the BBC have given this scummy Liebour MP an easy ride. Take a listen to the fat Stephen Nolan who on interviewing this piece of shit said “I believe you, I’m not going to give you a hard time, it was obviously an accident”
Oh that’s OK then. Next time a Doctor gives a patient an accidental overdose they can pleased the ‘MP defence’
If you submit false tax returns and claim it was an ‘accident’ does that stop you being prosecuted? Nope, so why does a fat bastard like Stephen Nolan think it’s OK?
Oh hang on it was a LABOUR MP. If it had been a Tory I think the fat Huhnee wouldn’t have been so easy going.
I think he was right to claim back his £5 from the plate, after all what has the church over the centuries done for democracy? If the numpty had not claimed the £5 back then how on earth were we going to expose him? I say give him the fiver, show him the door for being a lying twat and give the remaining expenses, pensions, gold bars whatever to the RAF support charities…£70k? sounds good to me..
Thought GoBro (Gordon Brown after Susan Boyle called SuBo by red top hacks) pisspoor on marrs show and for once mar showing some gumption and asking some telling questions. The all too brief end exchange between Jerry Springer and GoBro should have been extended, Springer is in town to do the muscial Chicago so perhaps hhe could fit in some serious political interviews – he was after all Mayor for 10 years and the singer canned… IMHO

Charles Kennedy claimed for mints, teddy bears and poppy wreaths on MPs’ expenses
The former leader of the Liberal Democrats, Charles Kennedy, charged taxpayers for three boxes of mints and two teddy bears bought from the gift shop at the House of Commons.
Mr Kennedy submitted the £35.75 bill for the items, which paperwork suggested were to be used as “prizes”, under the Incidental Expenses Provision (IEP) which is meant to cover MPs’ office costs.
The Commons Fees Office paid up for the three boxes of “dark chocolate mints” at £5.95 each and the two “toffee bears” at £8.95.

Sarwar is as dodgy as they come. His family are well known for various frauds involving bonded warehouses……If it wasnt for his ethnicity, he would have been outed years ago.
His son was recently convicted of VAT fraud. He has an appeal in the wings though.
Please !! Let’s have some Respect here !
Bonded warehouses. Don’t these usually store alcohol? Shouldn’t that be out of bounds to members of the religion of peace?
Bonded warehouses are hotbeds of fraud and dodgy deals to reclaim duty and VAT on non-existent goods, or multiple times on the same goods that have been imported, exported, re-imported and so on.
This all came to light in recent years in respect of mobile phones, but could have been done just as easily on tobacco and alcohol.
No wonder Sarwar has a Swiss bank account…

Mr Skinner regularly claimed the maximum £400 a month food allowance allowable under the Additional Costs Allowance (ACA) to support his expenses in running a second property and also received £3,500 towards the cost of a new bathroom in his London home.
One House of Commons letter dated October 2004 states: “As you know Mr Skinner has had his bathroom redone and is going to submit a claim. I’ve told him that we will pay only £3,500 and he is content with that.”
The MP said he had decided to refit the bathroom on medical advice following his double heart bypass operation.
He said the repair work had actually cost £12,000 but he had insisted on keeping the claim down to £3,500 because he had previously voted against an increase in the additional cost allowance.
“I voted against the increase and I wanted to hold my head up high. That is why I kept the cost of the claim down.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5412667/Dennis-Skinner-claimed-for-accountants-fees-on-MPs-expenses.html
“I voted against the increase and I wanted to hold my head up high. That is why I kept the cost of the claim down [to £3,500]. ”
Thanks Dennis. An all time classic, now safely stored on our database for future use.
What on earth was in the previous bathroom that would have necessitated a refit after heart surgery?
A walk-in bath perhaps? Or a shower with a seat.
I’ve been assigned the ‘disabled’ hotel room before and that’s what they were using.
Frank might be due a bit of slack here.
His bath was changed for a shower, and his kitchen cabinets moved around to save heavy lifting.
But is that really something you and I should be paying for? Are there any other employers who pay to have showers installed in the homes of disabled workers?
No course there isn’t. Everyone else in that position either has to beg and plead and go through acres of form filling to get some funded alterations, or have another heart attack. Usually the latter.
Skinner is a lying fuck, and all: he just charged the difference between what he could write off against tax and what he spent to the taxpayer.
He has a heart?
Not anymore. It was bypassed. See above.
Sarwar – anagram rawars – he certainly buttraped the electors —- I always thought he was a perverted kind of a “socialist” anyway and struck me more as a Hamas type of girly…..they put him on a select committe and I cannot understand a word he says

Electrical work by a company which can’t be traced, shelves which are somewhere but who knows where!
This has the stench of a classic fraud about it. However his innocence must be presumed and he is entitled to a fair trial. Investigatory Proceedings should begin at once which will conclude in his guilt or innocence. I trust he will co operate fully !
Sunday Herald states
But on Wednesday in an interview with the West Lothian Courier, the MP’s local constituency paper, Devine said the electrician may even have died.
“Sadly, it looks as if the electrician passed away last year but we are working to find out the details,” he said. “What it sounds like is the guy has been trying to avoid paying the proper tax. That is what it looks like happened here, and that’s hardly my fault.”
Was this electrician killed in a mysterious plane crash along with a woman believed to have been a cleaner ?
The full article is well worth reading.
“What it sounds like is the guy has been trying to avoid paying the proper tax. That is what it looks like happened here, and that’s hardly my fault.”
Actually what it sounds like is Devine and the electrician conspired to evade paying VAT. This one should be most interesting.
Or it could be someone submitting wholly false invoices to claim expenses.
“Speaking to the Sunday Herald, Devine said the electrician was recommended by a friend called Tom O’Donnelly, from Ireland.”
Tom O’Donnelly
Under The Fairy Tree
Near the Magic Toadstool

This sounds like a job for the Polis
That article needs to be encased in crystal and incorporated into some sort of monument to troughing.
Jim Devine’s name should be up in lights for fraud,theft and forgery.There is a clear cut prima facie case for all of these and the Police should be investigating NOW; he should be suspended from the Scottish Labour Party forthwith.So much for Brown “doing whatever it takes”.

The name Eric Joyce featured surprisingly late in the long torrent of expenses allegations which have rolled on for the last fortnight, with the Falkirk MP being accused by the Mail on Sunday of twice failing to pay capital gains tax on property sales and of admitting claiming the second homes allowance on what was his main family home.
The newspaper also claimed he had become the first MP to top £1m in expenses claims since the records began in their present form in 2001.
Mr Joyce’s claims for last year of £187,334 put him at the top of the claims league for the third time in recent years.
His main home was in the south of England, where he lived with his two daughters and his wife but he has since separated from his wife and is in rented accommodation.
When it was put to him by the newspaper that if his former home was not a second home his claims would not have been valid, he is reported to have replied: “This conversation may have cost me £160,000. Have I shafted myself?”
Asked what he would do if asked to repay, he was quoted as saying: “Suck it and see.”
Some of his quotes sound like a script for an episode of ‘Minder’.
You wouldn’t want to suck it after he had shafted himself, although I might….
I have posted about the obnoxious Eric Joyce before.He is a rival to Hoon himself for the title of Hoon di tutte Hoon.I want to see his infamous troughing spread all over the front pages of the MSM.
I have no time for Mr Sarwar at all, but Habib Bank is used by many people in the Glasgow Asian community. The nationality of its ownership is of no importance whatsoever except that a tainting slant is being put on the story which infers that his account is offshore and in a tax haven. That is crude tabloid journalism.
This story is getting beyond a joke now. It has the touch of the Crucible about it. Salem witches everywhere.
The Telegraph should end the drip feed, stop innuendo in headlines, and get the story finished.
We get the message. They are nearly all hoons. But the economy is tanking, we have troops being killed almost daily, and there is other news in the world.
> witches everywhere.
Where exactly?
Fuck off Balls. Loads more to come yet!!
“The Telegraph should end the drip feed, stop innuendo in headlines, and get the story finished.
BOLLOX
Au contraire,Seorsa, this pile of shit can only be disinfected by complete exposure to the Electorate, in the form of the WHOLE truth and a GE.
Where are Tony Blair’s exes?

I’ve been thinking about Tony Blair’s shredded expenses receipts. If any of us did that, HMRC would make an informed guess at how much should have been declared and taxed as benefits in kind and then demand that. I hope that HMRC will find time in its busy schedule of prosecuting fraudulent MPs to have a look at the flats and houses bought and furnished by the Blairs, not to mention free flights and so on.

Never have people given so little 8.3333333333333333333333333333333e-8 p for someone who has given us so much.
To any voter stupid enough to have been taken in by the Blair regime at the last election, and is now thinking of how to vote again, remember this latest pathetic claim by this laughable, utterly contemptible excuse of an MP.
Yes, of course he now claims it was a “mistake” but it’s there in black and white: such is his contempt for the brave service men and women who gave their lives fighting for this country that he can’t even be arsed to pay a fiver out of his own pocket for a church service donation. What does this tell you about the Nulabour mindset? The same mindset that despises the gurkhas and only backed down when humiliated by an actress?
The same mindset which sneers at patriotism and pride in our culture.
These people are totally beyond contempt.
Help to rid the country of this vile cancer when you vote.
What a turd.
Who in God’s name is so stupid as to vote for such an arsehole?
Oh yes, the 22% out there who think Labour are better than any other alternative.
I knew people were stupid, but not THAT stupid!

Julie Kirkbride`s birthday is on June 5th!
She loves to receive fanmail and cards from her constituents whom she simply adores. Last year she had 9.
This year she will get thousands because we all simply adore her so much.
The problem with our beloved Julie is that she isn’t replying to fan mail.
Last week’s news.
Wrong. Wait and see!
More like next weeks news from what I hear.
I think Siegfried understands. Kirkbride has not been FULLY investigated yet. Nor has slimey MacKay. Who are the recipients of his allowances?
This is not old-hat news, nor should it be.
Siegfried, she needs to keep a low profile in case more comes out. Remember Save has left the door open for her and she always walks through open doors. If he has any sense he would slam it in her face and doublelock it. We have not heard the last of this scheming obnoxious bitch and her freak husband yet.
Are you a fan then?
Send her an orange.

There’s a joke at my expense missing here.
Brown’s unorthodox housing arrangements are going to be the subject of a big front page splash in the Mail later this week.
Buying a flat from Lewis Moonie, transferring it to his wife’s name, claiming expenses for properties he didn’t live in etc etc.
It looks bad for Brown.
Is that Baron Moonie, the same Moonie who stepped down from his constituency then immediately stepped up to the House of Lords so Brown could continue to have a constituency as his old one was abolished, and the same Moonie who was forced to apologise to the HoL for his part in a cash for amendments scandal?
That appears to also be the same Moonie that Alistair Dahlink rented a room from so he could designate his constituency home as his second home.
Oh good, I look forward to reading all the uncomfortable facts – uncomfortable for Brown that is.
Like Blair, now Brown, having lost the rational argument, is now turning to the doctrine of religion.
How does Brown reconcile his faith with signing the cheques for the Iraq invasion?
Maybe Brown would have been slower to act if Iraq was a Christian country.
Who was on the daily pueriletics today? Couldn’t be bothered, am sun bathing.

Engel bought an £1,800 television, a £2,900 sofa and a £1,950 bed.
Engel was also reimbursed hundreds of pounds for expensive kitchenware, including six champagne flutes at a cost of £30 each.
Ah, being a socialist is hard, all that luxery is needed!
Engel must be kicked out! Resign NOW, you thieving bitch!
Thanks for all the lox
Oi vey
Just as we’re getting used to you as an Archbishop you’ flip’ to being Rabbi.
WTF?
I wonder which is more comfortable. The £3000 sofa or the £2000 bed.
This may have been picked up earlier (no time to read everything). On the Marr show we had this little exchange:
Brown : “The public are disengaged….”
Marr : “No they’re furious!”
Brown : “Disengaged and furious.”
What planet is this man on? That’s some trick, to be disengaged and furious at the same time.
Thanks for picking up on this one: it’s been alleged that this is a sure sign that the speaker is in some sort of fugue state. La-la-la-la-not-listening.

Where is all Julie Kirkbride`s equipment? And her brothers? She`s a friend of Yeo,
Yeo is a crook. His dismissive reply when questioned about the girly gift:”A laptop is a laptop” was a disgrace. On a similar theme, I bet a lot of deluxe sofas and plasma screens are being hastily relocated to ‘second’ homes pending investigations….
Hopefully the on-thread rules relax a bit at the weekend, and I have put

Does history repeat itself? Probably, as human nature doesn’t change much.
In 1945 Labour were elected with a huge majority, then kicked out at the next GE. When you talk to people who voted at that time they weren’t influenced
by grand speeches about ‘political vision’ but became angry as their day-to-day lives got worse. Food rationing actually tightened after 1945, to the extent that deficiency diseases reappeared due to the shortage of citrus fruits etc. Rationing was administered by a hated Ministry Of Food who were
called (as one old salt put it) “a bunch of pox doctor’s clerks” – I think that
means self-important officials who were regarded with derision.
It seems that NuLab are going to go the same way, with knobs on when you add the charges of hypocrisy and double standards.

The case of the phantom shelves…..
Sunday Herald investigating Labour MP Jim (‘I’m already in deep trouble over my calim for a bogus electrician ‘ Devine.
“A SCOTTISH Labour MP is under pressure to account for the £2326 worth of publicly-funded joinery carried out by his local publican.
Jim Devine MP’s office expenses budget was used to claim the cash for his friend Tony Moran, who was employed to fit 66 metres of shelving. However, when the Sunday Herald visited Devine’s constituency office on Friday, not a single shelf was seen on the wall. A senior Labour source said that the party would look “carefully” at any irregular claims………….Devine’s expenses are now under further scrutiny after it emerged the taxpayer was billed £2326 for joinery services carried out by the MP’s local publican. According to the invoice, the sum was for supplying and fitting 66m of heavy-duty shelving – the equivalent of more than 200ft…At £25 “per lineal metre”, the shelving alone would have cost £1650. The £2326 sum is inclusive of VAT and labour costs………The individual whose name is on the invoice, Tony Moran, holds the licence for the eponymously-named Moran’s Bar in Blackburn, West Lothian. The public house is yards away from Devine’s home in the small town.
The barman in the pub, when asked if Moran was available for joinery work, said this was unlikely as the licence-holder had arthritis. The Sunday Herald tried to contact Moran but he was unavailable for comment……
One senior Labour Party source said: “What does Jim Devine need all that shelving for, his presidential library?”

RAISTHEGAME
well thats one thing the sunday herald or the herald will never do thay are to busy supporting labour in jockland, making sure labour scandals are kept away from the jockland public, those newspapers have as big a loathing for jockland and the jocks as any labour party apparatchic
if it wasnt for the english press and guido fawkes the jocks would not have a clue about what has been going on.
there are no media outletts in jockland supporting anything remotely to do with jockland, so they will vote as normal
and thats why labour will probably get back in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s Called the New Labour Tribal Areas policy
Ressembles another leper regime no ?
or the Bantu Homelands and Separate Development Act as adapted for Jocklanders.?
Exactly
And not just jocks …!
That is why New Labour needs a COMMUNITIES SECRETARY
TO NEGOTIATE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT NEW LABOUR TRIBAL AREAS
Quite simple really…
So where’s the old bill then? Fingers in ears and singing la la la la……….? This is the other scandal – the police simply refuse to act in the face of obvious suspicion. You lot should also hang your heads in shame.
Wholesale fraud and misfeasance are taking place in full public view, yet there seems to have been little police reaction to date.
Isn’t it time that Sir Paul Stephenson, Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, was asked to explain his tardiness in arresting the Westminster racketeers?
Are arrests expected soon?
fuck me, at least the money is going to a decent cause, not lining mp’s filthy pockets
What happens if the all the countries including us in the UK in the EU vote far right MEP’s lol
Would it be good or bad.
Lefties don’t seem to get the fact that if you establish a federal monolith like the EU is heading towards, it is just as likely to be vulnerable to a right wing coup as a Marxist one, depending on global conditions.
Fucking idiots.
Fascism and Communism are both on the same circle. There comes a point when one changes into the other.
Look at the Police State we now have under a Socialist Government.
They are not on the same circle. They are basically identical concepts and ideologies, created, sponsored and financed by EXACTLY the same people.
Communism and corporatism are THE SAME THING, run and controlled by the same INTERNATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM. How could it have ever been any other way??????????
Answer: It never could have been any different, because money rules the world. The USSR had to sell its resources to someone. Where did all the Russian Gold, diamonds and oil go to? Because sure as eggs is eggs, the Russian people never used or purchased much of it.
How did The Russians end up with a Russian Concord only a couple of years later???????
Why was two seemingly free market capitalist country allied, to The USSR of all set-ups, during world war 2????????????
How did the Soviets get a space program together so quickly, that seemed for many years better then The USA’s????
How come the Soviets managed to explode a nuclear bomb only a few years after the Americans. When it has apparently taken The North Koreans another 60 years to work it all out????????
Where do all those Communist Chinese goods, made with effectively slave and slave child labour go to?
Where did the Labour Party and the Trades Union movement get a large fraction of its income from during the period 1917-1991??????????????
Answer the corporate system, which is owned and ultimately controlled mainly by THE BRITISH ESTABLISHMENT.
So therefore logically we are the COMMUNISTS. Which is why WE organized the Russian revolution, and WE have been ripping off the place ever since.
You missed the Lizards. Where do they fit into all this?
Neither because the system would simply carry on ignoring the European parliament, as it has always done the will of the European people.
If the system fails, in the EU’s case because it has not even tried to convince the people that the perfectly horrible things that are actually happening in Europe and the world are ALL the peoples fault. The system either conspires to cause wars or other seemingly natural events, or simply ignores the voice of the people, by telling the BBC and the rest of the MSM to rapidly change the subject or given establishment agenda.
This can be done as quickly as man man global warming has now become man made global climate change. Which in turn could just as easily become man made global cooling. Which for those old and attentive enough to remember, has already been tried.
I’m scared.

Brown should go back to Sunday school
First of all a good Presbyterian would not be working on a Sunday, particularly politics
also the Presbyterian church elect their elders
“The body of elders elected to govern a particular congregation is called a session. They are elected by the congregation and in one sense are representatives of the other members of the congregation. ”
Brown has no moral, political or religious authority
You surprise me.
Lets get the CofE as well shall we?
Did the church authorities claim the tax relief on the £5?
If not why not?
Because if tax was not being paid on the £5, then tax should not have been claimed back. If the church did not know that the £5 had been taxed, they had no legal right to claim. If they did know that tax was not going to be paid, and so did not claim, then Frank Cook MP must have told them. The documented evidence should and likely does still exist. This as tax claimable church contributions are now put into signed envelopes, and are supposed to be kept on record.
If so, it was a knowing contrived and premeditated fraud of the tax payer, possibly carried out by Frank Cook MP working in conspiracy with the churches book keepers.
I say hang the lot of them, and be damned. We can work in long 12 hour 24/7 type shifts, reuse and if needed re-cycle the piano wire, so no problem there.
I hope many of you can plainly see a simply massive moral difference between any independent private ordinary individual trying their up-most to prevent the state stealing by force of criminal law their OWN WEALTH though various forms of taxation.
As opposed to elected officials helping themselves to the proceeds of the wages of the above sin, with no conscience or much notable contrition.
Do not also compare the benefits claimant even the slightly dishonest one, with the crimes of these elected officials. They have real issues like hunger and heating bills to deal with. Which is something virtually none of these bastards have ever really given serious thought to since UNI, and very possible not then either.
We have a justice system now operating in the 21st century, that would now make that of the late 18th century look reasonably reasonable and equitable.
This after 12 years, YES 12 YEARS of a LABOUR, I said LABOUR government that promised, and got elected 3 times on the promise, to deliver the EXACT OPPOSITE.
Which should not surprise anyone because that’s what Labour governments ALWAYS do.
If it was Gift Aided, the Church will have claimed an income tax ‘refund’ on it. This is not conditional on Frank Cook having paid tax on the amount, but it does depend on the amount being a personal donation. If Cook signed a Gift Aid form when handing over the fiver, but intended to reclaim the amount on expenses, he was guilty of a criminal offence in signing a document that he knew to be untrue, as it was not a personal donation.
In those circumstances the income tax refund was never due and the Church ought to repay it, but of course they would have had no knowledge of that at the time. They would have been entitled to assume that Mr Cook’s Gift Aid form was true and that he was not the kind of shit to claim the amount back off expenses.
We do not know, of course, whether the collection was passed on to another charity or retained by the Church, but it makes no dfference to the Gift Aid position.
Very likely he didn’t sign a Gift Aid form, in which case the question doesn’t arise.
I hope that clarifies the point. Incidentally, £5 is a bit tight for someone on an MPs’ remuneration package.
I have come to the conclusion we are missing a massive point here.
Before the revolution (sic) that was the Labour party we had two Houses and a two party system. The Lords were hereditary and by and large had the best education availabe in any country. The Commons were, well, er, common.
In the Commons the followers of the Primrose League took up politics largly as a duty. Expenses never came into it.
The Liberals, as they came from less privileged backgrounds relied on party funds to finance opposition.
All went well until the first real Depression. Then everyone went short.
Then the grabbers and bullies came in, in the form of Unions and Labour.
The result? Professional Polititians. Salaries became a means in its own. A JOB.
And when in due course that wasn’t enough, Expenses raised their ugly many headed gorgon…..
Got the picture? The motivation totally changed and Greed took hold.
Bring back the people who do it for nothing and you can set a Standard worthy of the name…….
Yeah Duck houses!!
And moats!!
I second that entirely.

Guido,
Did you read this earlier? Your site didnt respond when I submitted. Not sure that this is a direct Comment to this blog, but have you noticed a theory that the Telegraphs Expenses DVD could have come from Brown’s Bunker itself. At first, this seemed a crazy thought, but consider –
1 – there has been very little attention paid the horrifying economic situation in the run up to this weeks election
2 – It has enabled the Bunkers Spin Machine to revive the Tory-Toff theme.
3 – It will give Brown the opportunity to payback those Backbenchers he dislikes and replace those of the Cabinet that embarrasses him.
Add to this the known links between the Telegraph editor and Balls (reported drinking partners) and the story starts to become more credible. It also explains why no attention has been paid to the expenses of the Balls/Cooper household. (Are they any better than Julie Kirkbride’s?).
Room for thought.
Here’s a possible scenario;
The Queen calls Brown to the Palace – offers to give him an immediate knighthood.
He being the piece of xxxx he is, accepts and gets down on his knees to be knighted
The Queen produces the longest almighty sword from her collection from good old Henry 8th and cuts his head off – Sky News,carrying the story live,quickly cut to the weather…..
“Royal Prerogative,Mr Brown – don’t ever mess with me you headless moron”,utters the Queen as she leaves the room
I love the idea but she should use the maroon and gold coloured taser a few times first to make him squirm.
honestly, ma’am, we wouldn’t mind
It is a bit crap when even the PM has to be helped in interviews as i have observed here:

So, hands up everybody here who donated LESS than £5 in memory of the Battle of Britain pilots last year?
You can put your hands down now – that looked too much like a BNP rally.
P.S. I’m not sure how Mohammed Sarwar’s Swiss bank account is supposed to save tax. It would only work if he were non-domiciled, but isn’t an MP somebody who regards the UK as their permanent home? Perhaps he just thought that the Swiss banks were less dodgy than our bunches of spivs? (Untrue, as it turned out).

I’d also give her one if i wasn’t gay *COUGH* i mean married of course.
Regarding Frank C(r)ook:-
“Never in the annals of human greed has so much been filched from so many by so undeserving few”.
So, after nearly one month of the expenses scandal, where are we?
* Looting, theft and fraud on a truly epic scale
* Not a single arrest
* Not a single police investigation
* A few thieves promise to stop looting in a year or so
* The chief looter appears on TV grinning like a porn star’s pussy
No wonder the public are fucked off.
Absolutely.
Well put.
B all, just Hype!!
They are nearly all at it.
Cameron not least.
I am increasingly of the view that the main political parties will not bring about the change that is required and that we require a political movement to be elected which will sort things out and then disappear. I floated these ideas in my book Tough on Crime. If you want a free electronic copy of the book and/or are interested in forming this movement, please contact me on nigel_bowker_917@hotmail.com
Nigel Bowker, please assure us that you yourself will never stand for election as an MP. Your self-promotion here, over and over and over again about your confounded book, would disqualify you. Nothing would induce me now to read your book.
I might read your book.
Ditto. Sod off Mr Bowker and stop abusing Guido’s hospitality.
Just remember, folks, give Brown the biggest fcuking kicking of his sorry-arse life this week. We have to force him OUT.
He’s capable of doing anything to cling on to the job he stole.
We can worry about stringing up the troughers afterwards. This is priority one.
We face a dilemma.
The sooner Brown goes, the sooner things can start getting un-fucked.
or
Let Brown stay in power until the 11th hour, continously losing support, and have Labour utterly and irrevocably annihilated on election day.
They are on 22% That’s unnacceptable. 0.22% is better.

Why does Brown think that we constantly need reminding that he is a son of the manse?
The man is almost universally detested (a really nasty piece of work) who should have been strangled at birth.If he is a typical example of what scottish presbyterian upbring does to people,perhaps the organisation should be proscribed or at least shunned and disregarded .
He says that his father taught him that a stitch in time saves nine and many other simplistic proverbs but clearly the old man failed to mention anything about honesty , truthfulness ,integrity or loyalty to the people .
For the sake of the entire nation he should resign now .I f his colleagues had an ounce of compassion,they would gently persuade him that his time in office has ended ,it is time to go and that he owes it to his family to rescue what little is left of his sanity.
Dirty TRicks Brown had to counter the Scottish Catholic Working Class ticket the other Scottish Labour Criminals were playing last week !!

Scoittish Labour take the biscuit !
Let’s start waterboarding the whole fucking lot. I’m happy to let them use my garden shed as long as I can operate the tap.
Did I hear our Esteemed Bent One right this morning? Marr started a question by saying ‘There must be in General Election in 12 months, bla, bla’. Whilst he rambled on I’m sure I heard Brown say ‘possibly’.
Anyone else hear this or was my ear horn battery playing up?
You did hear him say ‘possibly’, a very worrying thought as other have said; he could pull the ‘national emergency’ card, now that would cause a riot.
No he’s changing the Constitution at the end of this year and merging Labour with the LibDems – so he’s clearly hoping to manipulate the system so that he can’t be voted out of office.
Don’t we think he’s beginning to look and act a bit like Kim Jong Il?
HE MUST BE STOPPED-NOW!!
Nope. He believes he is unstoppable. He said this morning (Reported in The Sun) that:
“people will vote for the Leader and Party that is determined to clean up this system” – obviously, he thinks, him!! and “they will vote for the Leader who has got the experience and who has taken people through economic difficulties before.”
He doesn’t seem to have heard about the latest poll which says Labour is going to be lucky to get 16% of the vote. He’s in complete denial.
I would dispair if the opportunity to remove this disfunctional human being of a PM and destroyer of the UK were removed. What will it take for the silent majority to find its voice?

Well said ,
Adolph McMental is clearly out of control and needs putting down
I would just like to take this opportunity to point my moral compass at a playground full of children
Off topic but rather good. Seems someone else made the link to Crash Gordon too…
My moral compass is purely for british children
Yes Stephen Fry, I’ll settle for ‘pleb’… Shame you’re not yourself, you toffee-nosed Establishment stooge.
The world really has turned upside down when that professional cυnt Piers Morgan calls Dame Stephen Fry an establishment stooge.
Nice that nobody could be arsed to comment. Notice he has missed the point like most of the media people, twatting on about moats when there is serious larceny going on.
Best story of the day so far… Jacqui Bloody Smith is being sued by the American DJ she barred from entering the UK… come on, give her arse a good spanking. Although she might enjoy that, especially with her adult film loving hubby watching:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/5417527/Jacqui-Smith-sued-over-shock-jock-accusations.html
Wonder which court case will come first for Jackboots, the fraud case or the defamation one?
Hopefully, if the lawyers are smart they will let the fraud case goes ahead giving her a criminal record and then stick her with the defamation case.
By the time this goes to trial Jackboots (and Darling) will have been demoted anyway.
Sweet….but guess who will pick up the tab…yep the Uk tax payers.
And guess who will pick up the bill for this? He’s suing the government, ie the taxpayer, not Spliffy personally.
Ed Balls being given any senior, more high profile role would be the best thing that could happen. The public have a natural dislike of sweaty, smug school bully types.
He can’t open his sneering face crack without trying to score some chip on the shoulder class-war points, and he oozes oil de smuggness from every suppurating pore. He’ll go down like a sack of shit with voters.
So, yes, please promote him, Mr Snotgobbler, and hammer yet another nail in Zanulabour’s already sieve-like coffin.
Esther Rantzen thinks he is doing a great job where he is.
She has no concern about HIS troughing.
Probably because she ain’t after his seat.
Poor Luton South.
Any doubts about her establishment credentials? – she is getting more publicity than all the minor parties put together.
She has friends in high places – which means she is no friend of the ordinary ‘hard working family’.
Leprous.
Unfortunately for the entire country she is going to make an announcement “within days” as to whether she will run after receiving a “warm welcome” in Luton High Street.
I can think if a very warm welcome I would give her if she came round our way, can you?
Can you imagine her in the chamber? No other fucker would get a word in edgeways.
Frank Cook, you are an utter disgrace.
Resign now if you have a scintilla of decency.

Changing the Constitution to allow a mad, corrupt, or incompetent MP to be forcible removed mid term is all very well, but what we actually need is a Constitutional way of removing a mad, corrupt, and incompetent Prime Minister.
A ship’s Captain can be removed from his duty by a (Courageous) First officer, if there are serious grounds for doubting his sanity, but we have no parallel for applying this to our PM.
Or do we?
Remove him him as MP
Yes – it’s called the Royal Prerogative. Ma’am?

I think we can safely assume in the absence of any rebuttal from Nick Clegg and
the Liberal Democrats before next Thursday, that the prospect of a Lib Dem Labour deal over PR is a done deal.
Voters should be properly informed before the poll.
There’s a simple answer: steer clear of the Lib Dems just in case. They are back sliding oportunists; always willing to do a deal but if they team up with NuLabour it’s a faustian pact; and they will never be forgiven for inflicting more of the same on us.
Anyone have any idea about Andrew Marr and his political orientation?
Look him up on Wikipedia – VERY interesting – the bloke is Labour through and through – even married to a daughter of a Labour peer.
Some other VERY interesting stuff on there too,as Guido knows.
So this is the cowardly Brown again choosing the soft target for his rare TV interviews (ie; TV AM) – remember this morning’s interview;
“Andrew,I have known you for 20 yrs”……..
Time for the bloke who interviews the Apprentice candidates about their CV’s and pulls them to shreds and spits them out.
I can see how the media are guilty of letting these scum off lightly.
Feck Off Marr you fecking Labour shrill!!
As a previous poster mentioned
sometimes there are legal grounds for setting the Captain adrift with the fucking idiots who still have faith in him(due to fear and men with guns )
McMental is a busted flush

In a few days he will be humilliated
An amoeba has more honour than this shit
Still fucking peasants as far as I can see.
I have just found, by accident, the strangest blog site called NoLeaderButGordon. It’s clearly only just been set up this month.
It talks about him as though he’s the next Messiah – “a shining light” and states that “we can always rely on Gordon to carry us through these dark and dismal days”
And there’s a picture of Gordon giving that eerie disturbing smile. No hint of who has set it up – but it must surely be a spoof? I need a glass of wine to settle my nerves.
ooh poor Nell..What a dreadful shock! I bet it made you feel quite ill.x
2 glasses of wine later. Miraculous recovery!!
But who Anonymous has put up the site ?- No 10 with taxpayers money or perhaps McBride working from the No 10 basement??
Or is that glass eyes?
2 bottles more like.
Californian Cabernet. Wonderful stuff!! Gordon should try it. It might at least help him to loosen his tie and his temper and perhaps to throw less Nokias.
My god its real!!!!
The bugger has gone to the trouble of photoshop’ping the dandruff off Gordo’s clothes – there’s a small digital signature on the bottom of the picture – hang on – somebody called “E.Balls”.
http://noleaderbutgordon.blogspot.com/
He looks like Susan Boyle ffs! Perhaps he’s Paul O’Grady and she’s his Lily Savage? He’s light years more howling though.
Definitely a parody – unless Brown has borrowed Kim Jog-Il’s webmaster for a few days.
With Gordon anything is possible.
Appears to be a tease on a genuine idiot called Tom Miller. Very funny.
The Master Plan
We pack all the MPs off to Australia, the place of con….victs, in exchange for all their cricketers, (plenty of bar work for them).Then we hold the ashes every year, the aussie team being picked from ex MPs and bowl non stop bouncers at them until their skulls are a mushy pulp.
One flaw in the plan. England has now bowlers.
Fuck off,keep the twats over there, we have our own shite here.
They’ve tried invasion, diplomacy and downright skulduggery to grab a piece of Gibraltar during the past 300 years.
But now the Spanish have played their trump card by laying claim to 20 square miles of sea around the Rock…in the name of the environment.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1189778/Gibraltar-ambush-Spain-grabs-miles-British-waters-carry-environmental-protection.html
Wonder what he promised the in return for that little diversionary tactic?
The EU granted Spain’s application for an Environmental Protection Zone which includes Gibraltar’s territorial waters, to be monitored by Spain.
What is the EU up to; are they trying to start a war?
Another reminder of the cost to the Country of a Government in ruins held in contempt by the rest of the world.
Everyone in the world knows they can walk all over us, and we are incapable of doing anything in response.
Wait for the Falklands to be taken back again.
its a c*nt!
There was someone on here some months ago who only left the comment, “Geoff Hoon is a cυnt,” and variations thereof, and it obviously stuck. Guido is having a bit of a laugh by having cυnt changed to hoon.
Ha ha ha suckers, it’s all within the rules and I’ve still got my job thank you very much.

Frank Cook, (born 3 November 1935) is the Labour Member of Parliament for Stockton, and it was reported that he once asked the Tory MP Andrew Mackay to ‘step outside for a fight’. Now there’s a coincidence.

One for quote of the week / day / year whatever
“I think you know that Mr (Stephen) Harper, the Canadian prime minister, is going, and I think in these circumstances, this particular event was one that the president wanted to be for prime ministers and presidents.”
Gordon Brown on why HM Queen Elizabeth was not invited to the 65th D Day commemorations.
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090531/tuk-queen-welcome-at-d-day-commemoration-dba1618.html
Ironic given that she and the actual veterans would be the only ones there pretty much that were alive (and nearly dead) in WW2. If Brown could strike a new low this and this alone will mark this man for centuries. If Brown was PM in 1944 the invasion would still be at comittee stage. Sad but true.
He shows his complete ignorance of the event doesn’t he? The D-Day Commemoration is for the Veterans who remain and a chance for them and their families to pay respects to the thousands who didn’t survive. In order to do that properly the Queen needs to be there.
This is not Gordon, a chance for Prime Ministers and Monsieur ‘diminutive in every sense’ Sarkozy to try and capture some of Obama’s reflected glory.
This Gordon is a Commemoration for the truly brave who stormed the beaches on D-Day and pushed the enemy back with much loss of life. . This is not an event designed for you, Gordon, to try and grandstand – not that there’s much chance of that – you shabby man.
When my old man was still alive (he fought in N Africa), he often said during the Wilson/Callaghan/Scargill period that him and his mates wouldn’t have bothered if they had known how it would turn out. If only he was alive today – I hope he’s not watching! If he was at Nomandy, with his old platoon, then I can imagine them storming the barbed wire again and taking no prisoners.
It’s so sad. I have the dog tags of one my uncles who fought through these WW2 battles. They were self effacing men who had in their time displayed immense courage, tremendous bravery. We couldn’t say that of these worthless politicians could we?
What was it that T E Lawrence wrote about war and it’s costs, after the First World War :
“We pay too much in honour and in innocent lives. I went up the Tigris with 100 Devon Territorials, young clean, full of power and happiness. It was great to be their kin and English. And we cast them by thousands into the fire and the worst of deaths not to win the War but that the rice and corn and OIL might be ours.”
Don’t those words come back to haunt us with Blair’s and Brown’s War in Iraq.
I have a friend who served on the Russian convoys. Last year I commended him on his bravery and service. His reply was: not a man on the fleet would have been there if they had a choice. I expect many survivors would say the same if they were as honest. Certainly, if they could have known how things have turned out today they would have rebelled for sure.
Anyone following the Eleanor Laing case.
Ripped off the taxman in what appears a deliberate act of fraud.
Cameron says tut tut she will have to pay it back – all some £180,000. What in the heck of a mansion was she ever selling?
Come on Dave, Sir Peter straight OUT over a duck house.
Eleanor Laing – one of your mates – knuckle rap and never mind.
This looks a case for the authorities. Didn’t you say yesterday such cases need looking at.
Oops – only when they are Labour I guess, or the wrong sort of Tory to suit your lib dem version.
I’m sure everything will be sorted by the time he becomes PM.
In a year. Maybe by then.

Elliott Morley?
No, silly, it’s the BBC so they are nearly all Tories.
Harriett Harman found herself defending Gordon over the weekend at a stormy constituency meeting, where members of her Labour constituency were angrily complaining about ‘this champagne socialist government.’
Harriett retorted that ‘no-one could call Gordon a champagne socialist – his suits are crumpled – he’s more of a hair shirt’
Was she saying that Gordon is dowdy? Or was she hinting that his religious delusions go deeper than a missing moral compass?
maybe he’s moulting?
I wonder if it’s not more of a mould – something that is in the final stages of decay.

Like many on here my close friend a consultant and renowned Neuropsychiatrist diagnosed Brown as a sociopath. Not quite knowing exactly what the condition was I nodded sagely. I’ve just Googled it. Make your own minds up as to whether he fits the bill

All him except the superficial charm. He needs to work on that.
Brown is definitely a sociopath. He has a narcissistic personality disorder and should never have been allowed anywhere near the office of prime minister as we are now discovering to our cost.

Here’s a couple of lefties who made todays’ headlines for their Piggy behaviour.
Though none of it comparable to the pathetic scumsucking slime that is Lefty James Gray. Sorry, I meant Frank Cook of course. Fuuck it. They should both be dropkicked into the Thames with all the expenses they ever claimed converted to pound coins and put in sacks tied firmly round their necks
Eleanor Laing didn’t pay capital gains tax on second home

Frank Cook is prehistoric Old Labour.Not the sharpest knife in the box, he seems genuinely bewildered by events.In any case, he hardly compares with the Rolls Royce troughers like millionaire Sarwar,or the Hoon in chief, or Darling, Moran, Uddin, Balls, Cooper, Morley,Butler, Smith……….
I suggest Lapeno for PM; he’s a dirty git but honest with it!
Gordon get out of the car on the news today brought out another of those ‘GB’ moments when his smile didn’t match. He must be a psycho…..

“I have always wanted this, errm….what is it now….Ed, what is it that I want?”
Then try contributing thought provokong comment.
‘A mind empty as the blue sky’ – Harriet knowing she’s the next Great leader
‘Point at the invisible’ – Brown knowing that the Presidency of Great Britain awaits him
‘Sign language in the dark’ – Ed to Yvette desperately working to keep their office expenses under cover.
I can see how that would work.
Balls as Chancellor (I see ITV/BBC news tonight softening up the electorate to expect the imminent knifing of Darling) with his Boy-Wife still depuy in the Treasury ?
One puppet after another… I though the electorate were sick enogh of anti-democracy and coronations of the annointed ?
Just goes from bad to worse.
At least they’ll all go down together.
Then Balls takes over as leader of the opposition.
Oh – a dream come true. Bliss.

Isn’t it strange how Charles E Labour Troll has been quiet on this one too. I really don’t understand why? I guess it’s not nearly as bad as claiming for a floating duck house or a moat clearance really is it?
I am not religious but what is that quote? “The M(P)eek shall inherit the earth”? Well if the if the commons expense committee allow it that is….
Suspicious that. Stories in the press of Balls getting to be chancellor and then 24 hours later we get Darling’s hand in the till expose. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the puppeteer in this drama was a Liebour one.
Alistair Darling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, claimed parliamentary expenses for a flat that he let to tenants while also claiming living allowances for his grace and favour home in Downing Street, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5418493/MPs-expenses-Alistair-Darling-billed-us-for-two-homes-at-the-same-time.html
Alistair Darling came under fresh pressure to quit as chancellor today when the Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, said he should be sacked for profiting from his parliamentary expenses.
Clegg has been making increasingly pointed attacks in the wake of the expenses scandal and was the only party leader to call for the Speaker, Michael Martin, to stand down. Today he turned on the chancellor, accusing him of “flipping” the designation of his main and second homes and claiming public money for personal tax advice. This, Clegg insisted, meant Darling could no longer be trusted with the public finances.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/may/31/liberal-democrats-chancellor-parliamentary-expenses
Darling is more toasted than a toasted teacake followed by toasted jam and toast followed by more hot toasted toast followed by a toast to toasting and toast.
Did someone mention toast?
Move over Darling!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5418493/MPs-expenses-Alistair-Darling-billed-us-for-two-homes-at-the-same-time.html
I think that this particular report is the cherry amongst the Hundreds and Thousands atop the cake. He is The Chancellor in HM Government. May I humbley suggest that if HM is concerned for the image at home and abroad that something be done about this in a formal manner by Buckingham Palace because I am personally becoming rather embarrassed and I dare say other Subjects are too. I was aleady becoming quite concerned for our nation and our children financially but embarrassment affects us all no matter what the lineage or wealth.
You can see why it was leaked today that Balls would take over as Chancellor next week. Darling knew he woud be toast when this story came out, hence not a squeak from the little pipsqueak.
Darling comes across as a reasonably pleasant person, even though he is a Trot since he was at University. Balls, on the other hand, is a thoroughly nasty piece of work – just what Labour needs to bring the whole socialist experiment to an end.
balls is a socialist experiment !!
chimera gene splice of an ameoba and darth maul , in the hope of creating somthing with vast evil intelliegence yet a slippery and spreading nature . rumour is there is a ameoba in the river system with high intelliegence , as clearly balls is a basic lifeform loyal to darth vader

Is there already an agreement between Clegg and Brown to replace Darling with Cable?
Vince Cable has absolutely ruled out serving as Chancellor under Labour
He wasn’t offered P.R. before though.
The libdems would stab their grannies for a taste of power, dont kid yourself that the libdems are somehow holier than thou, they aint!
The libdems will do a deal with Brown and are even now probably in secret talks with the mental one because the only hope of defeating the hated Tories is to link up in a leftist pact with newlabour.
Of course McMental WILL betray the power hungry libdems and its a classic example of the cautionary tale about the fow and the scorpion and its a grubby tale of two leaders, one desperate to cling onto power and the other desperate to taste power!

Why have all findings as highlighted by the Daily Telegraph now, in the words of the BBC, become ALLEGATIONS???? Is this because these findings, as released in their original form by the government, are now too uncomfortable to face or is it the BBC fcuking about????
A few years ago Mr Frank Cook MP (Stockton North) was interviewed by the local Dead Wood Press (The Middlesbrough Evening Gazette). One question he was asked was where he went on holiday. The classic reply:
“I don’t go on holiday. My life in one long holiday.”
Mr Cook was born in 1935 (from Wiki). He has been a singularly useless consituency MP who will now only ever be remembered for attermpting to steal from the Poor Box; an action which places him at the top of the list of ‘Most Contemptible MPs’.
There appear to be a number of categories of MP emerging from this stone-lifting exercise.
Category One
Those who have caused no offence.
Category Two
Those whose actions are generally deemed to be scandalous.
Category Three
Those whose actions are against the law.
Hypothetically speaking, does anyone know the going rate for a ‘hitman’ willing to take out Cat 3 MPs? Whatever the figure, I’m sure it would be cheaper for us members of the general public to rid ourselves of these unconvicted criminals by direct action rather than having to pay them to go away.
Consider this, removing a mere 27 Cat 3 Labour MPs would preciptate a General Election by removing Mr Brown’s overall majority.
Think of it as a mercy killing.
Well, perhaps not. After all, Mr Brown has never shown us any mercy.
Further to the above, the interview was published by the EG on May 29, 2001. In a chav question and answer section (favourite book, film etc.) he was asked his Holiday Destination
“My job is one long holiday.”
Interestingly he described his main concern as “unemployment”.
His pet hate (you’ll love this!)
“insincerity”
According to two people I know who are in a position to know such things, the rate is as low as £2000 per head.
I must say that that figure compares very favourably with the estimated £4 million cost of buying out 12 of the villains. Unfortunately, when the bullets start flying the end results tend to be unpredictable.
We have an Ofcom and an Ofwat; perhaps we should have Ofparl to regulate our Honourable and Right Honourable members.

Anyone read the home office statement on Shock-Jock Michael Savage / Wiener ?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8076197.stm
Let me Quote it.
“He added: “Coming to the UK is a privilege that we refuse to extend to those who abuse our standards and values to undermine our way of life.” ”
So if that is the home office stance shouldn’t the growing list of MPs be summarily turfed out the country.
I would be willing to stand up in court to say my life has been personally undermined by the taxes to keep these pigs at the trough, wouldn’t you ?
